We are entering a new era—Government by Gimmick. Policies won’t be serious efforts to solve real problems but mere attention-grabbing stunts.

The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢

I just can't wait until this stuff reaches SCOTUS, when the justices come up with some way to rationalize all of this being legal – because they know Trump will ignore a ruling against him, and they end up becoming impotent overnight
The legal profession—judges, law schools, bars, attorneys, you name it—is facing a huge test:
Actually support rule of law, or a game of say whatever BS in the moment gets money, influence, and approval from power (whether in a courtroom or not)?
I worry too much of the profession values the latter.

Truly, we are at a moment when we need organizations — the ABA, ALI, law firms, law schools — speaking out.
As Judge Coughenour said, “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?”
It’s time for the lawyers.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Good thing the Dems didn't admit to the coup in advance, they would have looked so weak and cowardly, so fucking craven, in the newspaper if they said "America Is Under Attack From The Inside And We Will Stop It By Any Means Necessary"

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Last time I checked, Trump had nominated 10 people from the Fox News for big and important government jobs that they are largely, and sometimes grotesquely, unqualified for. But they are still going to act like they are the defenders of merit?
Given how blatantly unqualified many of Trump's nominees are, I thought they would knock off the :DEI is the cause of everything bad - bring back merit" argument but no, they just keep doubling down
