Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

You don't find out until the 12th paragraph of this story that what Trump is doing is illegal. Just from a newsworthiness standpoint, how do you not lead with that? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump is opting some of the government out of the shutdown

The administration is finding ways to pay troops and for government work Trump favors while targeting “Democrat programs” for layoffs or closures.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:

This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.
