@Nonilex that last one is easy, political appointees. Not a single career prosecutor would touch this authoritarian crap with a 100 foot pole.

@NonilexBecause he hasn't done enough damage to the US and world economy yet?Did he sleep through all of his economics classes at Penn?Maybe he's planning to make Taiwan the 52nd state (after Canada) and everything will be fine...

@dogzillaI'm pretty sure he does not have administrative control. Steve Vladeck helpfully laid out the limited things The Criminal can do - https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:nwnlnixtjh3qhkwpz2uy5uwv/post/3lw4n6qhv4k23 @Nonilex

@NonilexI don't think an emergency declaration changes the limitations in the law. He can legally federalize the DC police to be used on federal government property, but that's it. There's no reason a preliminary injunction can't be had against anything beyond what the law clearly allows in vert short order. The DC Circuit almost certainly would uphold such a ruling and SCOTUS would be treading on very thin ice if they were to overturn it. @dogzilla

@NonilexThey are so just making this shit up as they go.That doesn't make it at all any less dangerous to DC residents nor to the future of democracy.

@NonilexTension? Highlight tension? Good God. If there's one account I miss from the bird site, it's the NYT Pitchbot...

@Nonilex"He got the passport, went to another ICE check-in in June, and was taken into custody. “There was never any question of whether he was able to go to Jamaica,” Unger said. As a result, it should have been illegal to send him to Eswatini."

@NonilexThere should be widespread outrage among the punditry for each and every one of these pardons, all to enable future grifts and build his pool of beholden billionaires.He really wants to be another Putin.

@stuxThe vast majority of income taxes are collected by employers and automatically sent to the appropriate level of government. It is possible for employees to submit a change of withholding and bring it to zero and then not pay their taxes, but that is an awful lot of effort across an awful lot of people that isn't going to happen. What can happen is for Democratic run state and local governments ...

@soaponeThe government paying bills for goods and services, including employee salaries certainly is, or in this case not paying.There's a well documented multiplier of downstream economic activity for each $1 of federal spending that varies depending on the specific expenditure.Downstream businesses not getting that income has a negative multiplier that can't be made up. @TheConversationUS

@NonilexStory is updated; unnamed university source says 2 are dead, unknown more injured, seems like shooter(s?) still at large.

@NonilexPlease don't use their pathetic Orwellian name for that bill. It's the MAGA Murder Budget Bill.And if this name wasn't 100% accurate before, it sure as hell is now.

@NonilexThe purpose is always to chill speech for people without the resources to hire a lawyer to protect their rights and freedoms.This is what fascistic authoritarians do.

@wjmaggosHold on a minute. So far as I know no one in the Fediverse can federate with Bluesky. My understanding is that Fediverse servers can permit or deny the use of services that bridge individual accounts between Bluesky and the Fediverse (bridge.gy is the only such service I'm aware of).I assume bride.gy can also choose to deny its service to individual accounts, though I'm not aware of that happening.@mastodonmigration, do I have this correct?
