  8. "The Court’s unwillingness to enforce various constitutional limitations on presidential power has been defended by arguing that Congress may defund actions of which it disapproves.  If the President may appropriate funds for whatever actions he desires without regard to statutory limits, that fallback constraint no longer exists."

  13. With the Trump administration, the right question to ask is not "When are they lying?" but rather "When are they NOT lying?" Their whole public life is a total lie up to an extent that we really must ask ouselves if we're not dealing with people that are incapable of hearing - nevermind accepting - the truth.

    "It should not come as a surprise that Vought, who admitted that his goal is to traumatize federal workers and drastically slash funding for social programs, has institutionalized DOGE in his role as OMB director. From breaking the civil service through mass firings (including the euphemistically named reduction-in-force, or RIF, orders) to unlawfully canceling the disbursement of funds appropriated by Congress (including through so-called pocket rescissions), Vought has been at the forefront of achieving DOGE’s mission.

    Of course, this requires understanding that DOGE’s objective was never to save taxpayer dollars. Musk did not “fail,” as some credulously argued, but succeeded in a spectacularly evil goal. DOGE was—and remains, through Vought’s OMB—an effort to extinguish the existing government and create a new one in the image of oligarchs and far-right ideologues. Vought, it’s worth noting, has no issue with a $1 trillion military budget. Climate science, environmental and health regulations, and social welfare spending, on the other hand, are treated as unacceptable impediments to unfettered profitmaking.

    It’s easy to see the continuity between Musk’s DOGE and Vought’s OMB when considering their shared method: baselessly claim that something is an example of “waste, fraud, and abuse,” and then take a chainsaw to it. Defunding projects that clash with Donald Trump’s right-wing goals is the through line, and it was presaged in Project 2025."

  18. I’m a lazy sod! My only release, the “Demolition 2011” tape, was exactly 15 years ago! To celebrate, the tape is now available to stream on DEEZER, QOBUZ and TIDAL in addition to Bandcamp!

    And maybe we’ll finally manage to record something with the SHITWORKER ORCHESTRA…
