Introducing “Elie v. U.S.” | The Nation

Hello, and welcome to my introductory newsletter “Elie v. US” you can subscribe To the ballot and get it weekly here. With the administration of Donald Trump/Elon Musk, who crushed the fabric of the American -style democracy faster than I can recruit “once, Rome was a republic”, it seems useful to make a weekly volume of some stories, events and events that I could not write. Most will be legally bent, but some may surprise you. Consider this my desperate attempt to create a record for my children when they ask me why The blowing air now costs 25 sagging for a five -hour bottle.

Bad and ugly

• A representative of Al Green (D-TX) was revised by Congress For violation of Donald Trump’s appeal to the joint session of the Sicophontens and co -authors in Congress. A lot of Democrats protested against criminal liability (As my colleague Joan Walsh noted), but 10 Democrats joined the national vote for censorship. I am going to list them here be 10 democrats who shouldes never be able to raise a dollar from other democrats, ever again: ami bera (D-Ca), Ed Case (D-Hi), Jim Costa (D-HA), Jim Costa (D-HI) Gillen (D-Ny), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wa), Jim Himes (D-CT), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Marcy Kaptur (D-Oh), Jared Muscovitz (D-FL) and Tom Suzi (D-Ny).

• Hampton Delinger, Head of the Inspector Department, threw out your lawsuit To stop Trump from illegal dismissal after he lost the case before the appeal of a permanent current. The courts ultimately gather to release Trump and Musk whom they want, for any reason who want – although the lawsuit filed by the fired commissioner on the labor relations So far survives.

• Some people clearly don’t care fired federal workers but they need to know what American employers cut more jobs in February than any month after the great recession. Feel free to remind people about it when they tell you that responsible oligarchs are only interested in shooting with black people.

• Meanwhile, Elon Musk appears to use its new federal powers advertisers of bullies Join Syter and thus make it even richer. Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the Ministry of Justice to investigate this rank conflict of interest, but she knows the way I do that Doj no longer works for the American people; Now this is a legal squad of Goon Musk.

• The Supreme Court canceled the environmental agency and decided to allow cities to drop more human cocals into the oceans and waterways than experts believe. Literal disease America continues to APACE.

Inspired to take

• Nobody should be surprised that Elon Musk’s attacks on federal judges are racist. But it is possible that people did not notice how dangerous they became. This work is Jay Willis Gives a fantastic explanation of how Musk’s attacks became.

• Everyone knows that Republicans say “Dei” with “tough R.” Here is a useful listComposed by Michael Chariot, he considered “Dei”. The work reminds people about literal historical facts that Republicans no longer want people to study.

• Trump is obvious Coming to social insurance Now. This piece NationJohn Nichols explains why this is so wrong.

• It’s a couple of weeks but seeing it my first newsletter if you haven’t read Adam Server “A large reservation‘Please do it.

The worst argument of the week

• Alice Slotkin gave Tepid Republican A democratic reaction to the Netflix Hours to Congress, during which she was able to praise a prominent democratic hero Ronald Reagan. She followed her sitting on an interview with Atlantic‘s tim albertWhere she posted her priorities. Her answers were the usual thin porridge that goes for the spoken points of the Democratic Party, but one line really stood out. She said, “It won’t win the election to talk only to the party base. If that was, Kamala Harris would become president.” First of all, I really need Beck with the 80 -half White Congress to keep the Kamal Harris name. It is easy to break away from a democratic “base” that was black people for a lifetime Slotkin when no one invites you or your potato salad to a culinary culinary. When you run to represent all America, not just white people who think they should possess this place.

But more importantly, what is the universe that Slokkin thinks she lives, where Harris spoke only with a democratic base? Why does she interview where she just lies about Harris’s focus? If anything, Harris walked too far from his way to court voters who do not call for calls for Liz Cheney and a familiar Republican range “Never Trump”. She desperately concentrated voters of white women, only for most of them to dismiss Harris and voted for the decisive sexual asaler. The only way she could turn to women such as Slotkin when she asked to see Donald Trump’s leader.

I am ill with the death of white Democrats who act as the most reliable voters in their coalition are those who need to be ignored.

What I wrote

• I asked the Democrats to boycott Trump’s speech to Congress. They didn’t do it. Instead, they brought small posters decorated with political messages as if they were at a silent auction for fascism. We live in hell.

• The Supreme Court ruled that Trump should restore USAID funding. He will not do it. I explained why.

The news is not completely related to current chaos

• Luigi Mangion, who is currently in prison the trial for the murder of the Joint Health CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly (well, alleged Sex -This. Possible existence of these tapes sent the internet to madness.

Friends, all this situation with Luigi begins to remind me of the trial of Klodia Pulodi from ancient Rome. In 62 B.C. The second wife, Julia Caesar, Pompey, organized a party to which no men were invited, but Pulter penetrated to seduce Pompei. The party was a religious festival, and Pulcher was charged for hesitation, but Pulcher was something to play with a lot of supporters among young Roman people. In court, Caesar (who was also “steep” by the young Romans) refused to present any evidence against Pulcher, and Pulcher was eventually justified. Then Caesar divorced Pompeya as a hypocritical, mysogan injection (which led to the famous saying: “Caesar’s wife should be higher than the suspicion,” not Caesar, of course, just his poor wife, who probably didn’t even sleep with a man who showed herself in her home, not embodied). But his refusal to Pulcher helped Cament Cament as a man.

I mean: if any candidate for democratic secured Luigi Mangon, this man probably wins the major walk in 2028. My other moment is that the American Republic, like Rome Julia Caesar, is in a spiral of death, and by the end it will become much more corrupt and rigid.
