Last year, Erik Prince said, “it’s time for us to just put the imperial hat back on to say we’re gonna govern those countries if they are incapable of governing themselves *** You can say that about pretty much all of Africa.” He then agrees that he’s talking about being a “colonialist.” 1/

This happened slowly then all at once. We'll see if it happens again. But the brave ones are already getting rewarded right now. It's Wired and 404 and Marisa Kabas and a few other individual reporters completely dominating this moment because they understand the landscape and are clearly unafraid.

Breaking from me and @mjsdc.bsky.social : Newly installed AG Pam Bondi sent out more than a dozen memos in a 15 minute period on Wednesday. One of them told staffers to come up with "proposals for criminal investigations" of large companies that have DEIA initiatives. slate.com/news-and-pol...

What is it called when an erratic billionaire, whom nobody elected, rampages through the federal government, purging civil servants, seizing functional control over trillions of dollars, and attempting to destroy entire agencies—all in violation of the law?

This is a coup. slate.com/news-and-pol...
