It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Hear me out - what if instead of bemoaning the reduced # of male novelists we encourage boys and men to read WOMEN novelists and try to understand our POV and lived experiences???! 🙄 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/o...

How Bad Could a Rogue FBI Director Be? Pretty Bad. The FBI Director has more latitude, and more power, than the heads of most other executive agencies.

This, from @asharangappa.bsky.social, is one of the most salient points abt Kash Patel as FBI Director. There's no legislative charter for it. All the rules they're supposed to follow, which Patel has pretended to care about, could be trashed on a whim.
