DOGE NEEDS TO CUT MORE: Waiting for the Chainsaw. I suspect that a lot of cuts are being strategically held back for litigation reasons.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY:

Give these people the full J6 cellphone tracking and surveillance treatment, arrest huge numbers, then trace back the funding and prosecute and/or sue the funders. A whole lefty civil disruption / domestic terror network can be taken down.

UPDATE:

Don’t get cocky, kid.

ANOTHER UPDATE: It really does work like this.

Plus:

FOR YEARS TALKING OF THE DEEP STATE WAS CALLED CONSPIRACY THEORY. THEN YOU DISCOVER THAT INSIDERS WERE TALKING ABOUT IT IN 1961.

ROGER KIMBALL: Trump is working overtime to restore the rule of law.

Trump is acting to restore the law from the depredations of lawless, indeed un-constitutional, arrangements whereby the core powers of the presidency and of Congress are undermined by unaccountable bureaucrats.

Second, he is acting to rescue the executive powers of the presidency from the un-Constitutional interference of district court judges. It is the latter that has focused everyone’s attention these last weeks as various judges have issued orders to say that the President of the United States may not fire people who work for him, that he must spend money controlled by agencies of the executive branch, and that he may not deport certain illegal aliens. Here I remind my readers of the first sentence of Article II of the Constitution: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

Yes, but that’s awful because then the public has a say.

GOOD IDEA:

OPEN THREAD: Be brilliant and charming.

A SMALL QUANTUM OF JUSTICE:

CHANGE: RFK Jr. Launches ‘Operation Stork Speed’ To Protect Baby Formula After Shortages Rocked Biden. “The FDA is initiating its first comprehensive update of infant formula nutrient standards since 1998. This review aims to ensure that formulas meet current nutritional requirements essential for infant development. In response to recent findings of heavy metals like arsenic and lead in some infant formulas, the FDA will increase testing for these and other contaminants to ensure product safety.”
