In the Situation, @benjaminwittes.bsky.social looks at the questions of whether the courts can hold Trump to the law, including whether Judge Boasberg can identify who caused those planes to El Salvador proceed despite his order and whether he can fashion some coercive measure against them.

When Waltz starts claiming he was hacked is Goldberg going to out him as a source? Because he almost certainly was a source if he had Goldberg in his Signal contacts. Picked JG probably thinking it was Jamieson Greer, but Goldberg had to be an existing authorized contact.

It’s comforting for some lawyers to lament the “tough spot” Trump has put some law firms in. But I choose to remember what civil rights lawyers endured, and the integrity & courage they showed despite being considerably more vulnerable that well-resourced law firms being bullied by Trump.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.
Personal Discretion Over the Treasury's Payments System Means the End of Democracy
If the Court and federal workers fail to stop Elon Musk, we are heading for authoritarianism.

this is very clear and very straightforward about what's happening and at some point we also have to start pointing the finger at major news organizations who are flatly - out of bias, out of fear, out of incompetence, whatever - refusing to treat this as the emergency it is

Two plus two equals four. This simple truth exposes the alarming reality of our constitutional crisis. Elon Musk's unprecedented concentration of power isn't just a conflict of interest—it's a direct threat to democracy. We've normalized the unthinkable. It's time to wake up.

The gradual normalization of Elon Musk's unprecedented power concentration reveals a dangerous erosion of democratic norms. We must confront this reality to preserve our constitutional order.
