After 10 long days, the hearing challenging Texas' gerrymandering ended. By the end, all of legacy media had vanished. But Democracy Docket stayed to keep you informed about just how far Republicans went to manipulate the state’s maps.

I wrote a book about January 6, 2021.

Want to know when the Trump administration began its systematized lying about antifa and the FBI being behind MAGAs' attack on the Capitol?

January 6, 2021.

Rudy Giuliani had a suite at the Willard Hotel that was the command center for broadcasting that lie.

It's so weirdly opposed to the entirety of the actual US constitution - which says very plainly that Congress is the representative body and makes the laws for the President to be a good boy and execute.

in vought's view, the president is a living embodiment of the "will of the people" and congress has no legitimate power to limit him

vought justifies all of this as a vision of "separation of powers" — an idea that i'm more and more convinced doesn't actually exist, at least not in any strong form, in the constitution — but the thing that comes across is his basic contempt for representative government

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.
