Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.

lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

Honestly, it's probably worth burying the demolition company in litigation. Surely not hard to find a non-frivolous claim. Make them, and any other Trump goons, regret doing his dirty work.

Without goons he can do a lot less.

Could someone sue the demolition company? Do they have potential criminal liability to be prosecuted in the next administration?

specifically, someone could potentially sue the park service

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 5h

Trump calls a NYC mayoral candidate a “communist” and says “everything goes through the White House” — classic authoritarian framing: discredit the opponent, delegitimize the election, and assert control over local and state governments.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "It looks like we're gonna have a Communist as the mayor of New York. But here's the good news -- he's gotta go through the White House. Everything goes through the White House. At least this White House it does."

The 2020 election was free and fair, its result was legitimate, and this person’s conspiracy theories about it were universally thrown out of court because they were fabricated.

Conservative and Liberal Americans treasure our constitutional system, and we reject authoritarian rule.

WBEZ/Sun-Times are crowd-sourcing a map of ICE raids.

Put aside what they’re doing and to whom and why.

The fact that the people of an American city, including the mayor and governor, have to guess where Federal agents are operating, is itself insane.
