still wild how many companies/media organizations/thought leaders etc. seem to be operating under the assumption this guy and his movement have the mandate of the American people when it's clear that most of us hate him

America is a system and that system has crashed. @lopatto.bsky.social and @sarahjeong.bsky.social don’t mince words here www.theverge.com/policy/69730...
The People have rights against the powerful. That is what America is about It’s notable that these words keep getting repeated — almost like those “unalienable” rights of “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness” are really important. The Reconstruction Amendments — the 13th, 14th, and 15th — weave together the threads of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. They were a critical update, you might say, one that patched the Founders’ system-destroying error of perpetuating slavery while simultaneously declaring all men to be created equal. The 14th acknowledges that states, too, can be tyrants. Whether it is George III, the feds, or the slave-holding antebellum states, the People have rights against the powerful. That is what America is about.

Wary of speaking it into existence but between Trump's debilitating case of Permanently 1989 Brain Disorder and given the other creeps he's appointed, I feel like we have to consider the possibility of Karl Malone getting appointed to this job.

You don’t impeach judges because you disagree with their decisions; you appeal the decisions.

Clear-eyed, direct NYT op-ed by @jamellebouie.net using the kind of non-euphemistic language the headlines should embrace:
Together, Trump and Musk are trying to rewrite the rules of the American system. They are trying to instantiate an anti-constitutional theory of executive power that would make the president supreme over all other branches of government. They are doing so in service of a plutocratic agenda of austerity and the upward redistribution of wealth. And the longer Congress stands by, the more this is fixed in place. Again, if Musk had been elected to some office, this would still be one of the worst abuses of executive power in American history. No one in the executive branch has the legal authority to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations. No one has the legal authority to turn the Treasury payments system into a means of political retribution. No one has the authority to summarily dismiss civil servants without cause. No one has the authority to take down and scrub government websites of public data, itself paid for by American taxpayers. And no private citizen has the authority to access the sensitive data of American citizens for either information gathering or their own, unknown purposes. The thing, of course, is that Musk isn't elected. He is a private citizen. He was neither confirmed for a cabinet job nor formally appointed to a high-level position within the administration. He does not even have a presidential commission; he has been designated a "special government employee." Musk says that he is acting on the authority of the president of the United States. Even still, it is not as if the president nftha lInitad Ctatachne the authoritietn

HAPPY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY to Susan Collins saying Trump learned a “pretty big lesson” from his first impeachment.
thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Collins: Trump has learned ‘a pretty big lesson’ from impeachment BY JOHN BOWDEN 02/04/20 05:35 PM ET Maine Sen. Susan Collins (R) on Tuesday defended her newly announced decision to vote to acquit President Trump in his Senate impeachment trial, saying he has learned “a pretty big lesson” over his dealings with Ukraine. Trump’s acquittal on Wednesday looks all but certain, with Collins the latest possible swing vote to say she would come down against the two House-passed articles of impeachment. “I believe that the president has learned from this case,” she told Norah O’Donnell of CBS News. “The president has been impeached. That’s a pretty big lesson.” “He was impeached. And there has been criticism by both Republican and Democratic senators of his call,” she continued, before predicting: “I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future.”

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
liebschutz.bsky.social Jane Liebschutz, MD MPH (she/her) @liebschutz.bsky.social · Jan 22
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

If I were in charge of CFB scheduling, I would immediately schedule South Carolina and Illinois to play in the first game of next season too. Sudden And Out Of Nowhere Blood Feuds are the best bowl games, and we must maximize their impact.
