'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid.

The bill would hobble Federal courts' ability to find non-compliant parties in contempt. This would hobble the courts' already-limited ability to enforce rulings. The whole bill is toxic economically, but this provision is toxic to the Constitutional balance of powers!

"Another way you jerk around federal judges is you send somebody to court who doesn't know the answers or you do not tell the answers to." The administration is doing that, and much more!

DOGE Makes Its Latest Errors Harder to Find Elon Musk’s group obscured the details of some new claims on its website, despite promises of transparency. But The Times was still able to detect another batch of mistakes.

This is powerful. And sickening. Of course, people who don't want to believe it will just ignore it. But, as the letter says, he has no qualifications for the position; that should be disqualifying on its own. It's sad that any more needs to be said.
