There is no “novel legal theory” about a third term, as some reporters are parroting. It’s not legal, and the idea of seizing permanent power isn’t a “theory,” it’s just what dictators do.

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him.
"After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

i think this should be factored into how states, counties, localities and hospitals respond to these executive orders. "we will investigate you if you teach DEI." okay, with what agents, specifically? with what state capacity?
NYT reported that the number of potentially affected agents is as high as 6k. The bureau has about 13.7k agents total
What a hideous headline. Folks calling the shots here are just corrupt banana republic trash.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Swearing-in for a Trump cabinet member likely to carry out some of the admin’s most legally dubious actions, in a SCOTUS justice’s home, in front of his copy of the infamous billionaire-commissioned painting that embodies the whole court capture scheme. Not great.

not only was non-citizen voting common but the causal relationship between citizenship and voting was often reversed, that is, voting was how a non citizen *demonstrated* their commitment to the political community such that they could become citizens
A real mindfuck that threw me for a loop for a while is that non-citizens voting in US elections was fairly common and uncontroversial in the 19th century.
To the extent you had to do anything at all, you maybe had to sign something declaring your *intent* to become a citizen.

like at the time the Constitution was written the immigration law was "you have to get your own boat here if you want to be an american; we won't send one to pick you up." honestly if they had enough boats i think they would have been in favor of picking the immigrants up with them

Costco pharmacy is selling single dose levonorgestrel emergency contraception ("morning after pill") for $5.99 per dose. This is a product with a fairly long shelf life and they don't seem to mind selling it to people who clearly don't need it. No prescription needed.
