The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

the U.S. government is targeting legal noncitizen scholars, not on the basis of any wrongdoing, but as part of a larger assault against an educated public.

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).

This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

Trump’s EO ruining the independence of federal agencies shows the real goal of Musk and Trump is not efficiency or even winning the culture wars. It’s thievery. And they are *exceptional* thieves.

This Executive Order Reveals the Trump-Musk Endgame
A recent order aimed at destroying independent regulatory agencies isn’t just about taking control of the state—it’s a giant cash-grab in disguise.

Sarah Longwell and I discuss the awful speech by JD Vance in Munich—a humiliation for the U.S., and a confirmation that this administration isn't on the side of the democracies.

And a coda on the contrasting admirable behavior by several attorneys at DOJ & SDNY.

For those keeping track, @nytimes.com ran the story today on the bottom of page A22.
Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough.

It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find.

Even after Trump is gone the US has lost its place on the international stage and anti-US sentiments are at its highest worldwide. This comes due to the lack of visible protests or visible resistance, all while everyone is being harassed by MAGA and Musk across all spaces.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

WIC. They are pausing WIC.

That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
Broader agreement that it to applies to discretionary spending payments (Head Start, WIC, etc).

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day marking 80 years that Jews were liberated from Auschwitz. But we must mourn the precious lives taken from us. This tragedy can happen in the US too and we are seeing the warning signs. We must fight fascism in the US before another Auschwitz happens here.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
