"I sometimes wonder if I need to spell it out more clearly...[ hope that's accurate]--yes, please. It is invaluable that MM does so, especially as so many choose/determine not to see with their own eyes or hear with their own ears or act with their own capabilities. "Competitive authoritarianism" is here [Levitsky et al.]

I know it *feels* like Abrego Garcia has been in El Salvador for longer, but it’s actually “only” been 2 months.

Oh, and Tulsi is also removing elements of the PDB from the CIA's responsibility to her own office, where presumably she can prepare short PP briefings for tRump minus any actual intelligence content.

Just the way he likes it.

So. Like six-odd weeks til the Roberts court relicenses Trump’s right to break all the laws he wants, huh? And maybe the unitary executive becomes official, at least for Republican POTUS’s?

Can’t wait.

Just as the words "They aren't here to hurt me" defined Trump's 1st term, the shameful words "White Afrikaner Refugee" will define his 2nd

This afministration is really a historic phenomenon. They are attempting with brute strength, evasion of laws, breaking laws, intimidation, vengeful retribution wholesale bullying and legal chicanery, to change a country against its will. All the while reveling in unparalleled corruption. They will fail. The project is too large for them but at what huge cost in damaged lives, smeared reputations, broken institutions, lost alliances, closed stores, and a smashed economy? They have done so little good and so much harm. This is the worst administration in U.S. history and mind-bogglingly corrupt.
