As I'm fond of saying, "culture is going to do what it's going to do". Or, to put it in musical theatre terms, "you can't stop the beat" (Hairspray)
I’ve been saying this for ages: These folks are doomed to be permanently angry because they’re angry about aspects of the culture that policy ultimately can’t change. They’re seeking political power as a consolation prize for lack of cultural power, and will always be dissatisfied.
I think this prediction is holding up pretty well, and maybe I should have noted the failure of the Turn Charlie Kirk Into A Martyr moment might have been the pinnacle of the phenomenon. In some deep way I think the New Right Loser Men fail to understand what state power can and can't do for them.

When he's finally gone, there is going to be this flood of books and tell all interviews from Republicans about how hard it was to be a Republican in Washington during this time and I am going to be galatically furious about it.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I know you can’t stand either one of these clowns, but please sit back and enjoy Tucker Carlson steamroll Ted Cruz over his Iran ignorance. It’s like watching two snakes fight and still rooting for the venom.
Clearly, Tuckums planned this, and Cancun Cruz walked right into his trap.

Breyer throws out a hypo: If a statute said that the president can fill a vacancy when It exists, then could he appoint someone under the finding that there is a "vacancy," even if there is no such vacancy?

That's the idea, I'm sure.
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Document posted by National Science Foundation program director on LinkedIn says not only that grants are being terminated by DOGE but that they're being deleted from databases. Presumably to make it difficult or even impossible to undo DOGE's illegal actions.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Or - - and hear me out - - you could allow due process so that the truth comes out BEFORE you do deportations?
REPORTER: If a court holds you in contempt, you will take steps to return Abrego Garcia & put him in front of a judge?
TRUMP: Well I'm not involved in it. I'm gonna respond by saying you'll have to speak to the lawyers. I've heard many things about him, and we'll have to find out what the truth is

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Which is true of - - well, certainly every lawyer in the DOJ and many people in many departments.
We are preparing to release a detailed breakdown of Musk staffers’ incomes by employee.
Musk’s justification is that “the software engineers at DOGE could be earning millions of dollars a year” but are instead earning a small fraction of that as federal employees.
