A former Scalia law clerk whose political views are probably polar opposite of mine, but yet with integrity and respect for the rule of law (indeed a recognition of its paramount performance). This is what resistance looks like. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NEW: Elon Musk’s attack on USAID has cut HIV/AIDS workers off from medicine and money.

The Trump Administration claims it is allowing “lifesaving” foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives. Read our scoop here:

None of the big papers, for all their resources, has been covering the (incredibly stupid and vile) chaos that Musk and his strike-force of libertarian Beavises nearly as well as Wired. It's an extremely cheap subscription (and a very good print product as well) and I recommend it.

He blinked.
2 days ago Donald demanded our nationhood as the price of peace.
Then we hit with $125bil in counter tariffs and pulled American products off the shelf.
So now he settles for a fentanyl czar.
Canada shows the world how to stand up.
But this is ain't over.
Don't drop your guard.

Trump isnt just trying to impound appropriated but unobligated funding. He's frozen dispersement of billions of dollars of CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED funds. Whatever you think about the validity of impounding unobligated funds, this is quite clearly a direct and widespread violation of contract law. 🧵

1. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT "WOKE"

Trump just repealed an executive order that established basic non-discrimination requirements for federal contractors

It has been in place for 60 years

It survived Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II

And now it is gone

For decades, the political right has purported to broadly support the goals of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s.

The CONS game: (1) flood the space with clearly illegal unilateral actions via Executive Order; (2) count on the judicial system to move slowly and engage in delay in each case challenging the EOs; and (3) rely on conservative judges all the way to SCOTUS to rule favorably for them throughout.

Wow. Imagine being such a thin-skinned professional victim that you feel threatened by sign language interpreters.

A good reminder that most of what these clowns deride as woke is really just good manners and basic human decency.

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm.

From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.
