And off-topic aside here to express my disgust at the Pirates’ decision to cast Andrew McCutcheon to the winds. It’s not just that he’s been the most important player on the team in the last many years; it’s also he’s been the most gracious loyal devoted player to the city of Pittsburgh and its fans

YouTube coming momentarily breaking down the Noem sacking and her many missteps but the one that brings her down is testimony that Trump approved her self-serving ad campaign. The lesson that all cabinet will take: don't ever ever say anything bad about Maximum Leader.

One of our most thoughtful commentators is out with a new book that has a prescription for insulating government and the country from rulers like Trump, who WULALAD (wake up lying and lie all day). Details and discussion here:👇👇👇

"For generations, whatever one thought of DOJ’s arguments, the baseline assumption held: the Department acted in good faith and would follow the courts’ rulings. That assumption has given way, displaced by a sustained pattern of noncompliance and escalating confrontation with the courts."
Breaking WSJ:
The Trump admin plans to abandon its defense of Trump's executive orders sanctioning several law firms.
DOJ expected to drop its appeals of four trial-court rulings that struck down Trump's actions against Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, and Susman Godfrey.

Look who joined us at #MontclairSundays this week:
@harrylitman.bsky.social of Talking Feds.
Questions swirl around the U.S. military action against Iran, a DOJ Epstein mess looks more and more like a cover-up, and Trump’s longest-ever State of the Union. Bright & early Mon., Talking Feds breaks it all down.
Illuminating interview. Basically Trump is 100% erratic and incapable of strategic thinking. Makes next steps in Iran utterly opaque, and no confidence that US has prepared the ground for the regime change Trump says (today) is goal of the operation.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
"The tariffs decision did more than reject an aggressive claim of presidential power. It exposed deep divisions within the Court over one of the most consequential doctrines in modern administrative law."
