As an alum of the Justice Department unit that reviews EOs for form & legality--the Office of Legal Counsel--I've been watching the EOs & memoranda as they came out. What struck me most is the centralization of control and access. Things are happening so quickly that many haven't realized it yet.1/x

Everything Trump is doing with Palestinians, Venezuelan and Muslim immigrants are test cases for broad authoritarian rule.

Americans don't realize he'll come after them as well. We never learn.

They’re absolutely going for it. Doesn’t mean they’re going to be successful, and in fact I think it’s like shooting the moon, but everyone needs to understand what they are attempting.
Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

Interesting enough, we used to have proxy voting so folks could vote while they’re sick or other reasons.

House Republicans eliminated proxy voting last session. If you aren’t in the building, you can’t vote. So, if you’re in the hospital, your 750,000 constituents lose their voice on the issue.
Republicans have a 2 seat majority in the House. They’d love nothing more than a few progressive members of Congress being behind bars for days/weeks while fighting federal obstruction charges. Every vote matters over the next two years.

LISTEN: Judge Coughenour condemns Trump’s assault on birthright citizenship.

It is “apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals. The rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore…for political or personal gain.”

Donald Trump's sanctions against the ICC underline that the US is a rogue state.

The West is willing to destroy what remains of "the global order" to defend Israel from accountability for its crimes.

I truly need the temperament and patience of Jessica.
Jessica: He had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013. He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn't.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.

The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.

Now, they are trying to lie about it.

Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.

Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.

The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.

It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.

How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office
From your standpoint as a businessman and manufacturer, is there any sense behind this? Especially now that other countries are threatening tariffs of their own in retaliation. But that doesn't make sense cause it would mean raising their own taxes.
