My favorite from his Wikipedia entry:
In 2012, rapper 2 Chainz sampled Lehrer's song "The Old Dope Peddler", on his 2012 debut album, Based on a T.R.U. Story. In 2013, Lehrer said he was "very proud" to have his song sampled "literally sixty years after I recorded it". Lehrer went on to describe his official response to the request to use his song: "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?" (35)[67]

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This part was my favorite judicial trap
I agree with Judge Bates and Judge Cooper. Guided by case law, and without the benefit of briefing on the issue, I am satisfied, for the purposes of this opinion, that DOGE is an agency with the meaning of the Privacy Act. Were I to rule otherwise, I would be compelled to conclude that disclosure of SSA records to the DOGE Team constituted a violation of the Privacy Act, because members of the DOGE Team could not qualify as employees of an agency detailed to SSA.

This isn’t about politics — it’s about the systematic dismantling of the very infrastructure that made American innovation possible. For those in the tech industry who supported this administration thinking it would mean less regulation or more “business friendly” policies: you’ve catastrophically misread the situation (which many people tried to warn you about). While overregulation (which, let’s face it, we didn’t really have) can be bad, it’s nothing compared to the destruction of the stable institutional framework that allowed American innovation to thrive in the first place.
