'This is the crisis moment': Political scientist says Trump crossed a crucial red line
Reply in thread
Yes. He is now directly and mockingly violating the constitution and an explicit Supreme Court order. It is now a completely naked constitutional crisis for all the public to see.
Reasonable people have seen it happening since long before today, but today marks a shift from a more covert assault to an open one, and that is noteworthy.
Eta: I don't mean they were really covert before, either, to be clear. They dropped any remaining veil of plausible deniability today though. And then also let it slip on recording that the intent is to deprive US citizens of due process and ship "terrorists" (read: undesirables) to El Salvador, too. Today is a historic day, sadly.

Mehmet Oz confirmed by US Senate to lead Medicare and Medicaid
It's soul crushing at this point to see how effectively a bad actor can fuck up the US. A carnival barker is nominating arsonists and telling everyone the bonfire is going to be amazing and loved by all, and instead of giving consideration to what the fuel for the bonfire will be, the half of the Senate comprised of arsonists and pyromaniacs has decided the bonfire must be funded at all costs and should be the biggest bonfire ever.
I fucking hate this. Fuck fascists.

Supreme Court says Trump administration must facilitate return of deported Maryland man
This is the one to watch. All of the cases are important, of course, but this one has come to a head. The top layer of the judicial branch has issued an order at odds with the wishes of the Trump administration, and it's the executive branch's constitutional responsibility to see that the order is carried out.
This is where we find out if our fascist leader has any guardrails left to protect our democracy or if we truly live in a fascist state where people can be disappeared with complete public awareness at the whim and pleasure of ICE.

FCC Chair Carr says 'we're not done yet' after Jimmy Kimmel suspension by ABC
"I do think that again, we are in the midst of a massive shift in dynamics in the media ecosystem for lots of reasons, again, including the permission structure that President Trump's election has provided," the FCC chief said.
The fascists with the real power have abandoned their masks. The fascists with ambitions for power still wear them. For now.
The suspense is terrible. I hope it'll last. (RIP Gene Wilder)

US aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage
Food we've already bought and paid for - our tax dollars at work, literally - intentionally being left to rot. I hate all of this so much. They continue actively and aggressively hurting vulnerable people while putting money into the pockets of those with astronomical treasure piles already. Such efficiency. Very awesomeness.

We live in an interconnected world. As an American, I’d like to know some ways that I could purchase goods, in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Canada and Mexico, and still avoid the
We're all gonna being paying tariffs in solidarity together, homes. This whole debacle is such a stupid self-own for America that costs us AND everyone else.
All that sweet, sweet tariff money, just flowing into the govt for Elon to use as a slush fund. Or whatever other superb galaxy brained idea comes up.
