ICYMI: the federal judge in Maxwell’s case is ordering the US Attorney of the SDNY to personally certify that he is in compliance with the rules and law.
That US Attorney? It’s Jay Clayton, the one who Pamela Jo has handpicked to “investigate only the Democrats” relating to Epstein.

BREAKING: The judge in Ghislaine Maxwell’s case has granted the DOJ’s motion to unseal grand jury materials.

Excellent discussion today on the shaky ground of Trump regime’s lawlessness and extrajudicial killings of civilians on Sept 2. It’s factually clear the operation is outside the law, and that Hegseth is an unserious, blustering lackey. Great work @tessbridgeman.bsky.social @gregsargent.bsky.social
Trump's bombings are "murder" and "summary executions," says @tessbridgeman.bsky.social, and Hegeth should watch "where he travels when he’s no longer in office" due to potential prosecution by "international tribunals."

(2) seems to be an even more dubious point than (1). first because agencies are shaped by congress as well as executive appointments, and second because the agency rule-making process is more transparent and democratic than top-down decrees from political appointees
The theory of the unitary executive is that (1) the constitution requires it and (2) you get democratic accountability through presidential control through the power to remove agency heads. (1) is dubious (2) seems ridiculous at the present moment.
