"It is not enough to obey him: you must love him"
The White House is now scoring companies and trade associations on their loyalty to the administration's priorities, starting with support for the BBB.
Uber, DoorDash, Delta, United, AT&T, Cisco, and trade groups for steel and airlines among those topping the list.

Scoop: White House hands down loyalty ratings for hundreds of companies
The unusual scorecard fits this administration's habit of micromanaging companies and administering loyalty tests.

🧵We’re identifying the rest of the crew that joined Taurus and Sanchez Tuesday night in Costa Mesa.
Next up: Roman Drake. He used to be a part of the crew that would go around harassing people for wearing Covid masks.
The irony of his support of masked men kidnapping our neighbors is notable.

"With the legal sleight of hand so beloved by the Roberts Court, the ruling doesn’t actually allow Trump to end birthright citizenship. It just makes it incredibly difficult for courts to stop him from ending birthright citizenship."
Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

The Supreme Court's Birthright Citizenship Ruling Is a Five-Alarm Catastrophe
In Trump v. CASA, the court hands the president yet more unaccountable authority—and yanks us into a neo-Confederate legal nightmare.

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Monstrous:
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

He was also a committed slaveowner who brutalized the human beings he owned. He didn’t fight for honor.
Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician.
He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

Three things about this comment:
1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump.
2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you?
3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE
