Of note, I did not see any ICE ads on HBO Max in my area tonight, which was extremely surprising yet pleasantly delightful. I saw that TNT did it though to a bunch of y'all, so please keep bombarding WBD/local broadcasting with emails and calls #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️

🧵 I'm excited to share that my article "Democratic Backsliding and the Limits of Civilian Control of the Military" has been accepted @thejop.bsky.social.

It answers the question "how ought militaries act when civilian leaders turn on democratic institutions?"

Correction - the transfer of the money between DOD functions is unusual but may not be illegal because a provision was written into the CR. The main point about disconnection between troop payments and other federal employees stands. (h/t @brendannyhan.bsky.social) bsky.app/profile/egoj...

The DoD is allowed to transfer this money per statute apparently (though this is outside of my area). The CR in March upped it to 8 billion.
Of course it has. It always does. Sec 8005 of DOD Appropriations, for starters… That one provision now allows for $8b in transfers, per March’s full year CR:

They cannot talk about the shutdown without lying.

There is no connection between troop payments and federal employee layoffs. Zero.

They are paying the troops with multiyear R&D allocations within DOD. This is also illegal by the way! But completely disconnected to the layoffs.

WELKER: During the 2019 shutdown when Trump was president, no federal workers were laid off. Why are these firings necessary?

VANCE: Who do we care more about- federal bureaucrats or the troops getting the payment they need?

WELKER: But layoffs are a priority?

VANCE: They have forced us to choose

People keep posting this as if he make a mistake due to dementia or is tricking people with dates. You need to understand the debunked deep state conspiracy theory this relates to about the FBI being politicized and involved in Jan 6, and therefore needing to be purged and reformed.

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.

Trump's dementia is so bad that he does not remember that he was President on January 6, 2021 and watched the insurrectionists he invited to violence. President Trump watched his Proud Boys, Oathkeepers that he arranged to attack the Capitol Building to keep Congress from certifying electoral votes

The recent trajectory, in broad strokes:

- Regime starts militarizing the conflict in early summer
- Regime declares all liberal/leftwing political activity as domestic terrorist or terrorism-adjacent in presidential memo
- Regime ramps up the propaganda against “the Left” across all channels

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition…

We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

People really need to stop counting the damage done with this ridiculous idea (that was spawned from Twitter’s techbro men culture) in terms of $$$ and start approaching this in terms of the harm it has done globally (e.g. number of deaths due to USAID cuts).

Dollar metrics are meaningless.

Elon Musk’s DOGE never came close to cutting as much money by Sept. 30, when the government closes its books on the fiscal year, as he promised. Because its work has been obscured by crude accounting and White House maneuvers, it’s impossible to know how much DOGE actually did cut from the budget.
Not Even Congress Knows How Much Money DOGE Cut
Elon Musk’s team started a behind-the-scenes push for White House control over federal spending that is now an undercurrent of the government shutdown.
