Trump v Barbara categorically prevents us from doing this. What this executive order presupposes is, what if it didn't?

This is true. Also Senator Collins is in the GOP majority, which isn’t doing anything to stop Russell Vought from refusing to spend Congressionally mandated funds (and using his office’s budget for that. Which certainly appears to be a crime).

Judge Williams referred Blanche and the other involved attorneys to their state bar associations. In the background of this, there is a concerted RW effort to denounce and disempower those bar associations in order to pave the way for blatantly unethical practices to go unpunished.

🗽LOLGOP🗽@lolgop.bsky.social · 3mo ago

This is, at the same time, a remarkable rebuke of the man Trump is installing as Attorney General, who was basically called a fraud by the court, and of what we can only describe as Blanche's job application for the position, and exactly what we should expect he'll do with his power.

So I urge you to look at the folks who will inevitable call for us to privatize social security in the wake of this report and check for the overlap with the folks who brought us the surging inequality and a sluggish economic recovery that got us here. 4/4

Two requests for my general tennis viewing enjoyment: first, people stop doing the annoying “mouth trumpet” thing. The match is not about you. Second, can we fix the aspect ratio on outside court cameras? The game isn’t played in a bowling alley.
