Here's an expert saying that "constitutional crisis" isn't the right term **because it doesn't go far enough.** "The president is asserting dictatorial power and ‘constitutional crisis’ doesn’t capture the gravity of the situation.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

Trump's "negotiations" with Russia: he refuses to admit they invaded Ukraine, asks them for nothing while telling Ukraine to surrender, stops monitoring their cyber threats against the US, stops sharing intelligence on them with Ukraine, and now, stops investigating their crimes against Ukraine.

U.S. to Withdraw From Group Investigating Responsibility for Ukraine Invasion
The decision is the latest indication of the Trump administration’s move away from holding President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia accountable for crimes committed against Ukrainians.

While I'm heartbroken to see the paper I used to love fall to ruin, it restores a bit of my faith in humanity to see that the people whose work I respected and enjoyed the most are leaving. We need honest, intelligent journalism now more than ever.

This doctor is unquestionably a hero, as is the community that supported him. And yet:
Twitter post: Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like
"he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing
electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission
leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've
asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but
because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID
and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf
for fear of not being reimbursed.
7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and
radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to
me.
8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this
week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has
been allegedly implemented to preserve such access.
9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional
Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security
systems.The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO.

“People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

If his goal was really just to cut fraud and waste or whatever, he could do everything he's doing in a legal and Constitutional (albeit morally indefensible) way. So why does he keep ignoring the law? Because this is his ACTUAL goal: "INHERENT AUTHORITY" Total power, with no laws or limits.

This is a true Representative of the people, channeling and amplifying the angry voices speaking out at town halls across the country. His colleagues should be embarrassed they didn't all do the same. And they should be ashamed they didn't stand up for him, or their own constituents.

Huge statement from a Tory front bencher and former FCO minister. He would not be saying this lightly or on his own. Nor so publicly. Leads you to believe it has long been the confidential assessment of the UK intelligence services.

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh. This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...
"Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.”
Creating biosensors to detect infectious diseases. The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care” — that is, the place where people receive medical treatment — and “barrier,” referring to a part of the biosensor itself.
Designing eye-tracking technology for diagnosing and treating concussions. It appears to have gotten flagged for referencing “traumatic” brain injuries and the “status,” meaning the condition, of patients."

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.
