In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Slightly more seriously. It's crazy how the entire supposed constitutional theory of Trump 2.0 is that all power is vested in this single individual, down to every last tiny detail and whenever you ask him he's like "I have no idea; ask the lawyers"

Former senior DOJ attorney: Trump has pardoned fraudsters who had been ordered to repay about $1 billion in restitution. Now they don’t have to pay. Such a budding kleptocracy.
Liz Oyer, the DOJ attorney who got fired for refusing to reinstate Mel Gibson’s gun rights after Trump took power, is on TikTok now and she’s making some interesting videos.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

On the one hand, Trump is trying to abolish the Depart of Education
On the other, he wants to micromanage a private University telling Harvard who it can hire & admit, what it can teach, and more
He wants Harvard to eliminate DEI; yet, give preference to those with MAGA ideology

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:
“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

A fascinating issue around Yarvin and Musk is how figures feted as visionaries by the techbro Right don't seem to have considered the possibility that gunmen and covert ops types needed to enforce their vision might turn around and seize power from intellectuals and oligarchs like Yarvin and Musk

Musk/Trump regime actively working to shift the relative distribution of power in Europe more towards Russia. Not to make America safer or more secure, but to assist Moscow and Putin in their efforts to rebuild Soviet-style dominance in Central & Eastern Europe. No other explanation fits.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is considering to give up the role of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe - a role that began with then-World War II hero and future president Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Trump admin considers giving up NATO command that has been American since Eisenhower
The move is being discussed as part of a possible restructuring of combatant commands that would help the Defense Department cut costs.
