And I am asserting this because it has somehow become popular with the American public that experts are an anti-democratic Deep State, when usually some deeply nerdy person calling a company in Wichita to see what their employment numbers look like…

Look, you cannot run a modern administrative state with three guys and an AI machine. You need experts to review complex information and make reasoned judgments. The experts need to given the space to make those decisions. It is not a podcast.

Well, because of the gerrymandering he is speaking in opposition to, which allows politicians to pick their voters.

Again, I want to highlight that ordinary Americans are not the fools the politicians think they are….

I agree but would add we need to get recognize a right to information as well.

States Have More Data About You Than the Feds Do. Trump Wants to See It.

We should call this infromation sovereignty, www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/u....

Civil Service The federal government employs approximately 3 million individuals, making it the largest employer in the United States. Most of these employees enjoy tenure protections under the civil service law…

By request, I updated my website with a list of all the essays and podcasts I have done on the civil service. I'll keep it updated as I write and speak.

1st, I support IP b/c IP supports a robust public sphere that can remind us all Trump was impeached twice. Dubois wrote Black Reconstruction during Reconstruction! 2nd, some forms of information may only produced by the government and that information should be: reliable, accessible and protected.

There should be no Democratic Stephen Miller because Stephen Miller is exercising significant legal authority over DHS as non senate confirmed domestic policy aide.

Not to go off on Rousseau but one of the reasons I started reading Habermas is Rousseau’s views on patents is mumbo-jumbo.

The Founders struggled with how to create a democratic sovereign. The President was designed as a constrained position. They read allllllll the political theory of the time to try to avoid the trappings of kingship; a simple way to explain it is we call it White House not the White Palace.

The President is not even the most important position in the Constitution! Congress itself can create administrative positions! The Judiciary can create administrative position! I remember reading Rousseau in political theory and being well that is crazy. And guess what? So did the Founders…

I knew something was bothering me about the Administration’s conception of the President, which has ordered sweeping changes based on the administration’s “priorities” even when those “priorities” conflict with the law. We had more than 1 election in 2024!

Once again, an attack on our constitutional right to accurate information from the government. I blame the Supreme Court’s absolute unwillingness to protect expertise based on a fundamental misreading of the Constitution.

It is always the lady’s fault, amirite?

We going to have Unitary Executive Proof so many things…..

In the Aftermath, it will time to move the Bureau of Labor Statistics to the Fed.

Narrator: The economy is not booming because some weird guy decided to fire 12,000 federal employees and then started an illegal trade war with all of our major trade partners, but sure it is that lady’s fault.

Team Only The Best tanks the only economy which withstood the pandemic. Heckuva of a job there!

Well, yes, as the antisemitism claims have been settled for 6 million dollars! It just seems to me that for political reasons outside of the University, the state of California might not be inclined to settle here. These agreements—as an administrative law matter—seem very suspect.

I think this might be overreach on these university agreement because if UCLA’s status as a state entity.

And he is doing all of this without any legal authority, so starting on August 7, folks need to begin brushing up on the jurisdiction of the Court of International Trade.

I get the pessimism of the moment but we have to buckle up and deal with the legal order we are trying to preserve. My grandfather Donald Gaines Murray served in the U.S. Army and then got off the plane and was legal counsel in the last lynching in Maryland, so I have perspective.

So, I get the pessimism, but my response we have to buckle up and deal with the legal order we are trying to preserve. My grandfather Donald Murray served in the U.S. Army and then got off the plane and was legal counsel in the last lynching in Maryland, so I have some perspective.

Once again, not to be a raging Infrostructurist, but these agreements with universities contain data-sharing arrangements that violate the Equal Protection Clause, a danger noted in this letter.

So, I think a good lawyer who works for the government is going to try preserve some autonomy but it will be difficult.

In the immortal words of Hagen Scotten: “If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

I said once that if you are lawyer for President Trump—eventually—you will face one choice: your ethics or your job.

Again, Emil Bove is more likely than not going to be serving as a 3rd Circuit while also being disbarred. Lawyers are creatures of a civil society and bar associations exists as independent checks that operate outside of government authority.
