In an authoritarian state, contempt for the law comes down from the top, and that is exactly where we find ourselves today.
Trump and Musk have been applying their chainsaw not only to our intelligence agencies but to the far-flung networks used to cultivate and gather information. Who could possibly benefit from that?
A DOJ lawyer was tasked to defend a blatantly discriminatory, idiotic policy that will gut our military and deprive patriotic people of their right to honorably serve their country. It did not go well.
Trump has been attracted to the power of the pardon from the early days of his first term in office because that power, granted by the Constitution, is absolute and cannot be interfered with by either the Congress or the Courts.
Putin, who went after Ukraine with bullets but no words, will probably agree to words with no bullets for a while, and then as he has before, will go back to bullets and no words. Putin knows he can get away with this. The question is, what does Donald Trump know?
Expertise and experience and the wisdom that comes with both is being thrown out with the trash every day by Elon Musk and Donald Trump and the rest of these fools who apparently think they will never need help in their own lives.

On that dark day in 2017 that Donald Trump loudly endorsed the politics of white supremacists and Nazis, Trump signed a hall pass for racists and misogynists and xenophobes and homophobes.
Like every other war in history, the war in Ukraine turns out to be all about money—both Trump and Putin want to profit from what Ukraine has and they don't.
The pancaked putz stuck together with a half a can of Aqua Net was never going to stop this war on day one, and he learned today that he's never going to stop it if he takes the side of Ukraine's enemy, Vladimir Putin.
The one good thing that came out of Elon Musk bouncing around the White House cabinet room like a crazed Muppet and RFK Jr. being hit with a question about measles is that their lies were well covered.
Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince assures Trump that arresting and deporting 12 million immigrants before the midterms is no problem—for the low, low price of $25 billion that is.
