One year into this administration, it is plain that President Trump and his top aides have chafed at the limits on their power set forth by law and the Constitution. To avoid these roadblocks, this administration frequently purports to have discovered enormous grants of executive power hidden in the vagaries and silences of the code." Here, the Government proffers that, notwithstanding Congress's clear and unambiguous requirement of Presidential nomination and Senate confirmation before a person may exercise the powers of a United States Attorney—a limit established by the First Congress and unchanged for over 236 years Congress also, through a tangled web of broad enactments using general language, simultaneously

authorized the Attorney General to ignore this requirement and appoint whomever she wants to do exactly the same job. And it contends that her ability to take appointments into her own hands is not limited to this office. On the Government's reading, the Attorney General can appoint anyone to any subordinate position in the Department of Justice and delegate them the authority to act in any other subordinate role, no matter how significant. That argument amounts to an enormous assertion of Presidential power.

I’ve never read a judicial opinion written with such incredulity

Diversity Is Our Strength This morning, Elon Musk – the world's richest man and a key ally to the president of the United States – posted the content below to the white nationalist chat room and CSAM emporium he owns There's ...

Elon's racist little post made me mad enough to write about it at CAMPAIGN TRAILS.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here:

Bye, 2025. Besides the general *waves hands wildly* there were also health and job stresses that loved ones dealt with. But things are calming on both fronts, and now I’m up to three grandsons, so we’re gaining momentum! Bring it, 2026 🎆

Let’s goooooo

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Ah, I remember that World Series between the Boston Yook Yarters and the St-Fancisco Ardinals.

Walz: "'I don't know, do you really think limiting them to less than 100 bullets is going to do anything?' Yes! Yes it is. Yes it is going to save lives ... it's time to start reporting that that is all bullshit. It does do something. It does make a difference."

I let the Bowie song play while the WH video played silently and *chefkiss*

"Sir, we're getting a lot of buzz from your comments attacking that beloved director who was slain. Whom should we go after next?"

"Maybe an astronaut?"

"Brilliant, sir. Everyone hates them."

Look, of course I know the answer to this, but when you see a clip like this, you have to wonder why anybody interviews the president about anything. You would get more interesting and useful results interviewing a random person at a bus stop. Probably more informed, too.

Here's PIRG researcher RJ Cross getting the Alilo Smart AI bunny to tell @savanahsellers.bsky.social about S&M, the FoloToy Sunflower Warmie telling me it is actually both a cactus and a teddy bear (???) and the Miiloo spouting the CCP line on Taiwan.

Good things are possible with conviction and charisma and strength. The good politicians I've seen in my lifetime — Obama, AOC, Mamdani — basically ignored the Overton Window and created new conversations that shaped better outcomes. There might be a time to be transactional, but it's not now.

Thanks! Nice to meet you!

The Master Room appears to have no doors, and windows instead of walls, including one looking over the master suite bed. That plus all the bathroom sinks makes it very much the set for a horror film or worse
