Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran
The United States is well down the road to dictatorship. Imagine what Trump would do with a state of war.

Please.
reporters stop writing entire articles premised on the idea that musk is in charge of DOGE without also mentioning that the government has claimed in court that he’s not in charge of DOGE and that he’s not even an employee of DOGE and that he doesn’t have any decision-making authority challenge

My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues.
Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.

DOGE uses the word "fraud" to destroy in at least 6 ways:
1) The bait and switch. When Musk says "fraud," people who benefit from government programs are supposed to think "that applies to others, but not to me." The idea of "fraud" creates a sense of us-and-them.
