it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation
I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

I really liked Children of Blood and Bone. Children of Virtue and Vengeance has felt like a major step back... and I'm worried about book 3.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

If anything, we are actually deeper into a Worse Case Scenario today than these headlines reflect. This is too mild for today.

Future historians will understand that the key factor in the slide to authoritarianism was the total collapse of the GOP as a pro-democracy party, & the total failure of its not-actually "moderate" & "pro-democracy" rump minority to ally with Democrats & put an end to fascism. But sure, Murc's Law.
