Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

Musk says DOGE was only "somewhat successful," wouldn't do it again
Musk says DOGE was only "somewhat successful," wouldn't do it again
Elon Musk told Katie Miller in an interview for her podcast on Tuesday that DOGE , the Trump administration cost-cutting department he spearheaded, was "somewhat successful." What they're saying: It's a rare comment from Musk regarding the work DOGE did earlier this year, and hints at his lingering dissatisfaction with the inner workings of U.S. politics. "We were a little bit successful," Musk said when asked if he thought DOGE was a success. "We were somewhat successful." But, he added, he wouldn't take on the project again. Background: Miller, who is married to President Trump's top policy adviser, Stephen Miller , was then-Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary during the first Trump administration. She worked with Musk as a spokesperson for DOGE earlier this year, as he spearheaded mass cuts in federal spending and government jobs. Musk left the Trump administration in May, falling out with the president in the process, before later making up with him . Miller also departed the Trump administration in May and worked with Musk until August, when she left to launch her podcast . Go deeper: Exclusive: Musk got DOGE's mission "backward," Lutnick says Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated with more information.

Worth remembering that Trump is not just an authoritarian, but a fascist authoritarian.
Fascism boils down to the belief that there's a "natural" order where the physically strong violently dominate the weak.
If a fascist strongman's base perceives him as enfeebled, he is politically fucked
