I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.
Listen to this National Review writer. (Although I would prefer it if people supported the First Amendment on principle, not just out of self-interest.)

Why was there a spike in trade volume right before Trump announced his tariff pause?
In a normal world, there would be a fear of breaking the law. And we'd have a bipartisan push for answers.

UPDATE: There is evidence this image is from 2024.
The problem: that doesn't make the situation better, but worse.
What questions did the Trump administration ask about this satellite imagery in January 2025 BEFORE it started sending American residents to CECOT?
Surely it had access to this data.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"
This is our moment. This is our time.
We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.
