This. This - amongst an ocean of terrifying headlines - fills me with dread. The judiciary is the last, frail thread.
Courts willing to follow the Constitution and the law are the only things standing between us and Stephen Miller’s dystopia right now. And he isn’t happy about it.

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.
In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things:
1. They know it is a terrible idea.
2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

I hold a lot of disdain for the people who didn’t see this coming given P2025 but it does seem like the actual support for these goals is nonexistent, everyone who voted for him did so under the incredibly stupid assumption that he wouldn’t do this

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Wow, it's almost like Trump is enacting a radical, incredibly unpopular agenda that he never mentioned or explicitly denied during the campaign, and the Democrats and press are so mentally committed to servile accommodationism that they're pretending he has a sweeping mandate for that agenda!
I didn't anticipate the public health freezes. Did anyone? Was anyone in Trump world boasting about this ahead of time, like they did everything else? Stopping government from doing things in our system is much easier than making it do things you want, even things like banning a vaccine.
