Jennifer Rubin at The Contrarian explains how Judge Beryl Howell (DC Circuit) threw the book at the Trump regime in her summary judgment overturning the EO against the law firm Perkins Coie.
Rubin also chides the media for failing to point out consistently that EO’s are NOT laws and that most of Trump’s weird pronouncements will turn out to be just so much hot air.

AMEN to #JenRubin / #Contrarian on Ex. 23:9: “You shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger: You were strangers in the land of Egypt.” -- “There could be no more relevant message today, as we see immigrants targeted, demonized, abused, deported, and abandoned.” https://bit.ly/3RNay5M
Glad you had a nice dinner, #BillMaher

Ah, #Fediverse. My feed this morning seems to contain
50% #HandsOff reports, signs, congratulations, etc.
10% Very Thoughtful opinions that the HandsOff protests yesterday are "part of the problem," "emblematic of the problem," making things worse, or actually supporting fascism.

The article is worth reading. However, I think the title, "How to beat back Trump’s divide and conquer strategy," should instead be "How to stand up to bullies and not capitulate."

Mega-cap tech dominates the S&P 500 right now—biggest concentration since dot-com.
When this bubble pops, neglected stocks (small-caps, value, EM) could rocket.
Careful chasing crowded trades! 🚨
Peak Complacency Alert 🚨
Haven’t seen market complacency like this in 20 years.
Everyone seems to think “this time is different,” but that rarely ends well.
Stay sharp out there!

@briankrebs it is basically ww3 in slo mo whereas before it was more of a proxy war (of many) - with regards to the economy everybody knows we are in a superbubble - it could unwind gradually or it could burst tomorrow; more than likely it will be some sort of shock that gets things rolling and then dominoes start to fall #mkt deadwood

Congressional Democrats Are Failing Us
Our leaders on the Hill need to step up and speak directly to voters if they want to prevent a four-year GOP monopoly

@godpod Saw someone at the #Contrarian call them “DOGEbags” and that is now their official title.

"Because it’s going to take a team to do this, the Democracy Index will be located at a new venture that launched today, The Contrarian."

Joyce Vance announces the development of a new venture, Democracy Index, affiliated with the Contrarian:
"The Democracy Index is a project that will use the expertise of lawyers and political scientists to track developments in Trump 2.0., based on facts and transparent analysis. At heart, it’s a proposal for civics education, something whose restoration is near a dear to my heart."

Der Qualitätsjournalismus in USA lebt und ist kämpferisch: eine Neugründung aus der Bezos-verseuchten Washington Post heraus:

I so wish people would 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 before they s̶h̶o̶o̶t̶ write from the hip. Sadly, a few [personal] [mis] interpretations or maybe folk just looking to argue?

Small problem with Westenberg's doom complex - it's based on earth history and data trends - not Joe Shmoe's "predictions."
The frailty of the climate system and the rapid decline of biodiversity is playing out now. The only uncertainty is how bad it will get & how fast - and if it can be reversed at all.
...For that the odds are poor given the delay in changing course and political dysfunction.
#contrarian preaching that all is well -- #climatechange denial.
