You "pay" them in food, living space, and access to such "privileges" as might exist in a bunker.
This is probably why the drive to build humanoid robots to do everything has accelerated.

It's not like "authoritarianism" is some value neutral term or unalloyed good. More accurately describes the current activities and is still alarming.

The next administration should waive objection to the jurisdiction of the ICC in this specific case and allow extradition of Miller to the Hague.

The alternative is for the courts to appoint someone to enforce the subpoenas. SCOTUS upholding the administration would make them complicit in obstructing the constitutionally-mandated oversight function of Congress. It could happen, but then the problem is we're in an actual dictatorship.

I mean, that's the most reasonable explanation for Trump's unwillingness to release the files I can think of. That he is implicated in knowing for years, and saying nothing until he needed to retaliate.

Most white people in this country descend from immigrants who came here between 1870 and 1920. So the appeal Schmitt is making us not onky racist, it's off the mark in terms of demographic and historical accuracy.

It's a step up from calling it a "distraction"(looking at you, elected Democratic leadership), but he can still do more.

A shrewd strategy would be to target the middle men--undersecretaries, field commanders, etc. Less likely to be pardoned. Also everyone can face state criminal charges and civil lawsuits. 3 to 5 years of continuous stress and financial strain.

MPD had 15,000 arrests in 2023. That's about 41 per day. With triple the LEO numbers these guys arrested about 27 per day. That's pathetic.

Sure. After 48 hours the city will file a legal challenge and get an injunction. That process will wind up at the shadow docket, but will likely be moot since he'll have sent the Guard home and stood down the "security theater".

The Home Rule Act only authorizes a federal takeover of the MPD for 48 hours. Beyond that, you need an act of Congress. Would get filibustered in the Senate.
