Hey Siri, can presidents “expand [their] administration’s authority” by writing a memo? I must have been absent that day in conlaw.

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

After snooping around a little bit, I think I've identified the fault line here, which yes is about race. But also what the theme is fascists always turn on each other, racists have some kind of chauvinist solidarity. Marcotte makes the common liberal mistake- damn i didnt think they'd turn on me!

All fascists are racists, but are all racist fascists? that is debatable. for my purposes, the distinction doesn't matter.

Politico received an initial tip that a Taylor staffer had a swastika neatly pinned to his cubicle during a zoom call. When confronted, the congressman’s press office pretty implausibly sought to present the situation as a police matter, and Politico went along with that in its headline and lede.

So when I say that when I was a young Republican, I didn't realize it was inherently racist, okay, disbelieve me. Pretend I used the n-word or whatever. I didn't, but whatever you need to feel superior.

But remember: when your rule is "born perfect or GTFO," you are limiting your coalition.

Here are the grown “kids”. That one guy looks late 40’s. These are the Hitler lovers.

Vermont state senator Sam Douglass. Bland white guy with glasses and beard. Brown hair.

Man in poorly fitting dark suit with glasses and dark hair. Yes he’s white. William Hendrix who is the communications assistant to vile Kris Kobach, Kansas AG.

Bobby Walker, dark hair and dressed exactly like trump. Not a kid at all. He’s vice chair of New York State young republicans. I guess young means under 50.

Peter Giunta looks like he’s in his 40’s. I don’t know his age. Also dressed like trump in an ill-fitting suit. He has one of the worst combovers I’ve ever seen. Beard and mustache. He’s the chair of the NY state young republicans. He looks like the type of guy that looks through your windows at night.

How many different cities does the US have? By which I mean, for example: I think it's pretty easy to establish that Pittsburgh is a Chicago, and that SF, Seattle, and Portland are all just different reified aspects of a single city

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

critics may be calling it a minor work - believing everything from the man's pen should be the heir to Joyce that the one from 50 years ago was (and still is). the definition of unrealistic expectation

but even minor Pynchon is better than the major of just about anyone else
