Great work, Contrarians. On every front. And I'm esp. overjoyed that my monthly subscription helps Norm's GREAT work on the legal ramparts.

Meanwhile: back at the WaPo: if anyone else here still goes there to visit: the Trumpist takeover of the Editorial Board is pretty much complete. This past week, editorial after editorial makes the WSJ look like The Village Voice.

Today's gem was a robust defense of rebranding DoD as the Dept. of War.

And they make it impossible to determine who exactly is ON the EB these days.

Additionally, the paper's AI comments censorship continues to deepen. Two perfectly apt phrases I couldn't use in comments today: 'Trumpist insanity' and 'right-wing nutjobbery'.

Sigh. I still like the work of the remaining dig.stuff.up journalists. But the rest has become nothing but fishwrap and birdcage liner. And Dana Milbank's powerful voice is now going to be writing about nature.

Letting RFK, Jr or any other official get a pass for documentably false claims such as “We’re the sickest nation in the world” is epic failure of oversight. Quackery, incompetence, hostility to science & the rule of law as well as depraved indifference to human life are assets & qualification for high office in Trumpworld. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87JNkoyoWOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZsWkYu915k

Trump needs more than adderall. Time for a health consult with RFK Jr or Joni Ernst? RFK Jr, a drug addled cocaine & heroin addict who fried his vocal cords smoking crack & denies established medical science, is MAHAs celebrated head of HHS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvTdbs7bs1k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZsWkYu915k

Is Murdoch mentioned in the Epstein records? Any Fox talking heads or consultants besides Derschowitz?

Since Rex is MAGA, I suggest his moms take him to the Capital in his maga hat & sweater & encourage him to swagger around a bit. He appears to be EXACTLY the right man for the moment to help heal the great American divide of the moment, help all of Congress to lighten up a bit. MAKE AMERICA LAFF AGAIN

What if mayors of blue cities asked their blue state governors to deploy national guard to help them fight crime. They would then control the guard and could deploy them in non enforcement duties allowing their police to do more on the ground community policing. Besides helping as crime prevention funds are being cut, it also might cut the legs out from under Trumps threat to send in his troops.
