Lloyd Austin’s Defense Industry Ties Are Not What the Pentagon Needs
We recognize the historic nature of the nomination of retired General Lloyd Austin to lead the Pentagon, but it’s not clear that his defense industry ties will serve President-elect Joe Biden well.

And @warren.senate.gov and @SenRickScott call out former Secretary of Defense for going back on his word when he promised he wouldn’t trade in his political power by going into the influence industry.

Until Congress begins to do its job we will continue to watch the president violate the laws intended to prevent abuse of power and corruption. The consequences of tonight’s bombings lies equally with Congress. Their inaction is not only destabilizing the country but the world.

That’s alarming enough. But Trump has also authorized deployment of troops anywhere in the country where protests against ICE are occurring or are likely to occur, even if they are entirely peaceful. That is unprecedented and a clear abuse of the law. 2/19

You’ve also got Congress (at least the House) writing blank checks for a mass deportation campaign that is repeatedly violating court orders and trying to evade judicial review—and undercutting the contempt power. www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...
'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court
The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.

Right now neither is happening. You’ve got the Supreme Court staying lower court orders reining in DOGE and overruling Humphrey’s executor (major precedent limiting presidential power over independent agencies) on the shadow docket
