Thou shalt continue to ask Trump officials basic questions like, “WHAT IS HABEOUS CORPUS?” so that they can reveal that they don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

A private citizen does not have the authority to do this. The President also does not have the authority to do this.

This is unbelievably evil and completely illegal.
Elon Musk said on X early Monday he is in the process of closing USAID with Trump's blessing.

“I went over it with him in detail, and he agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said. ... ‘Are you sure?’”

The answer was yes, he said.

“And so we’re shutting it down,” Musk said.

A month ago the FBI posted this on Linkedin. Good luck attracting new agents now, in an era where legal protections that keep FBI personnel from being fired are ignored--because they worked on prosecutions on a matter that touched on the new president's "interests." www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

An executive order cannot supersede a statute. Congress has found ByteDance a danger to national security and SCOTUS has upheld it. Trump’s job as of noon tomorrow is to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That means enforcing the ban until ByteDance sells TikTok.

Not just the timing of the Alito/Trump call smells. Bet this is the only reference check any President-elect ever did for a sub-cabinet appointment. I served as a Department GC and I’m sure Pres Carter did not personally check my references. Transition teams do.
