I'm curious how Pence's livelihood depends on him trashing Trump. How exactly is his "complete fiscal future" dependent on this?

Well-said! Trump can't be a dictator on his own. Those politicians who stood by and did nothing own this fall into Fascism just as much (if not more) as Trump does.

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate. And friendly reminder that Jesus said "Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me."
If there's a God, Trump is fucked.

Can we stop talking about Trump deporting people? He is not deporting people. He is sending people who have not been convicted (or even charged) with a crime to a prison in another country. That's not deportation. Trump is disappearing people. Call it what it is.

Imagine if a CEO used a social media app to talk about trade secrets and accidentally added a journalist to the chat? The shareholders would be calling for him to be fired immediately.

It doesn't bother me to see him helping a little kid up the stairs. That's a nice, human thing to do. What does bother me is that Musk and his kid are routinely flying on Air Force One and Marine One. Musk shouldn't be using government assets and flying on the taxpayers dime.

Outlawing the Opposition
Learn about Hitlerβs early measures against "enemies of the state," including the Enabling Act and the first concentration camp at Dachau.
Trump isn't original. We've seen these moves before. Hitler also used "National Security" as an excuse to go after political dissidents or anyone he deemed an enemy to his agenda. #FreeMahmoudKhalil #BringBackHelyehDoutaghi #TrumpisaFascist

If a key aspect of what President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and others are doing right now is seeing what they can get away with β and what they can convince people that they can do β then a key part of pushing back against that needs to be challenging everything that can be challenged.

And, multiple strategies might be taken to challenge certain actions, some of which will be more successful than others.
From a litigation perspective, in other words, not suing is sometimes βobeying in advance.β Actions need to be challenged.

The mere fact of litigating can change implementation of policy to improve its application to those affected. Even a loss can advance awareness about oppressive steps being taken by the administration.

"The reality of litigation challenging the Trump administration is that it isnβt all going to win.
Thatβs OK.
Forcing the administration to defend its actions, on the record and in public, is important.
