"Garland’s protection of the DOJ did nothing but preserve that institution long enough for Trump to return to power and weaponize it against political opponents. It was a profound failure that our democracy will be lucky to recover from."
reflecting on this piece today as Trump takes FBI weaponization to a new level

DOGE cut off Social Security Administration spending so now workers have to use their own money to buy office supplies.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty.
It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon.
That is morally obscene.

Contempt-related consequences aside, what gets me is how obviously Rubio is trying to say the exact thing his boss thinks is tough in the exact way that his boss wants to hear it. With his boss looking at him as if to say, “go on, little Marco.” Pathetic.
Q: “Have you been in touch with El Salvador about returning Abrego Garcia? Has a formal request from this administration been made?”
Rubio: “I would never tell you that. And you know who else I'd never tell? A judge.”

Some of us always meant it, but yeah, I was just commiserating with an old Reason colleague about what a disappointing eye-opener the Trump era has been. If we’re not all-hands for this, if we can’t see an authoritarian emergency this obvious, who are we even kidding?
The failure of libertarians to pick the right side in this has exposed their whole thought system. A principled libertarian attack on limiting government overreach would be welcome at this time. Put no such thing exists. Libertarian just means selfish.

Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.
