West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Trump just instituted the most crushing tariffs in modern history, higher than the Smoot Hawley tariffs that devastated the economy, highest in the world by a huge margin. Every newspaper: “Trump enacts new tariffs, some prices may go up”

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Do you think, if Joe Biden was like “we’re going to cause a recession but after that we’ll have a golden age,” that the Washington Post would say “oh he’s just not explaining his plan very well”?

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

SpaceX, which holds billions of dollars in government contracts, was penalized by the FAA for ignoring regulations. In response, Musk pushed for the resignation of the agency’s chairman.

These dickheads want to think of themselves as gilded age industrialists when in reality they invented some fucking app for short term rentals of birds or some other shit that hemorrhages money every year, will never be profitable, and is kept afloat through constant injections of venture capital.

If other government agencies join Bluesky and become your favorite agency just remember who was here first and who has two eagles in their logo.

A good article. SCOTUS's recent regulatory opinions are so sweeping and terrible that the Fed is undoubtedly unconstitutional now. The situation is so bad a former Fed Board member wrote a whole law review spitballing ways they hope conservative Justices will deliberately avoid their own precedent.
In a number of important cases restricting the authority and independence of federal agencies, the Supreme Court's conservative majority has adopted reasoning that, if applied consistently, could have more far-reaching consequences for the administrative state. To explore the limits of the Court's evolving doctrines, this Article shows how their application might lead to a conclusion that the structure or mandate of the Federal Reserve, as created by Congress, is unconstitutional. On the assumption that at least some of the conservative Justices would not want to reach this result, the Article goes on to survey strategies available to the Court for avoiding such an outcome. It explains how, if a constitutional challenge to the Federal Reserve were to reach the Court, its choice among these strategies would further delineate the reach of its campaign against the administrative state. Even in the absence of an actual challenge, this exercise reveals how the Court's political philosophy is shaping its jurisprudence.
