With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

It's long past time that Democrats began demanding a criminal investigation into Elon Musk. Potential crimes range from accessing private data to conflicts of interest and more

What is it called when an erratic billionaire, whom nobody elected, rampages through the federal government, purging civil servants, seizing functional control over trillions of dollars, and attempting to destroy entire agencies—all in violation of the law?

This is a coup. slate.com/news-and-pol...
An unelected emperor—who has now placed himself above the Congress and the courts—working with a cadre of coders with no knowledge of governance, has been installed by what seems to be a figurehead president to deconstruct the component pieces of government that he disfavors. As Garrett Graff ably illustrated over the weekend, if this were happening in any country other than the United States of America, it would be acknowledged as a coup. Just because the president is authorizing it doesn’t make it lawful. And just because Congress has done nothing to stop him doesn’t make it legal. The fact that it doesn’t quite look like a coup, because there are suits and ties and papers involved, is by design. This is the dismantling not just of entire federal agencies, but of an entire architecture of democratic self-governance, by a man who believes we will not be able to name it quickly enough to stop it.

It is really quite something to hear Justice Alito talk about leaving decisions to people and their doctors and how bereft of expertise the court is.
