While President Trump basks in the spotlight with Saudi royalty, I hope he will also urge them to release human rights lawyer Waleed Abu al-Khair and allow writer Raif Badawi to finally reunite with his family in Canada.

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men.
Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.
What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties.
