Trump, Elon Musk, JD Vance, and others are calling into question the legitimacy of the judicial branch as judges across the country step in the way of some of the worst of the Trump administration's orders. Whether or not MAGA respects the rule of law is the last thing standing in the way of complete constitutional crisis.

Elon Musk, despite being an unelected private citizen, is running rampant through the federal government, using DOGE to shut down USAID, gain access to highly classified information and payment systems in the treasury department, and so much more. He's bringing the move fast and break things mentality of silicon valley to Washington DC, to the detriment of us all.

Today we choose pettiness. In honor of Trump and the White House removing the US Constitution from its official website, I am going to read it out loud in its entirety, with additional commentary to add context. Put this on like an audiobook and let the sweet dulcet tones of the founding fathers fill the air. Share it widely.

Within hours of some of Trump's more heinous executive actions, civil rights groups and attorneys general filed numerous lawsuits against Schedule F employee status, DOGE, and the bar on birthright citizenship. This is just the beginning of a long legal slog, but will it be enough to stop Trump and his cronies from undoing literal centuries of legal precedent?

A flurry of executive actions have made Trump's first 48 hours in office a whirlwind of chaos that's hard to follow. So I wanted to get into the weeds and lay out every executive action taken thus far, because it's important to stay vigilant. From border emergencies to putting people over fish, these are the actions you need to know about from Trump's first 48 hours.

Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump's actions related to the January 6th insurrection was dropped in the middle of the night amid a congested news cycle, and it didn't get the attention it deserved. But, in the end, how much does it all really matter? Only time will tell.

Right wing commentators and leaders like President Trump and Elon Musk are using the devastation in LA to fan the flames of disinformation about climate change and "DEI." Meanwhile, people who just had their fire insurance cancelled are grappling with how to rebuild, and marginalized communities will continue to face the brunt of these natural disasters for years to come.

Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta and all of its platforms, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, would no longer be fact checking or moderating its content, instead opting for a community notes system like X/Twitter. This change comes as Zuckerberg makes clear his willingness to do whatever it takes to get on Trump's good side, and signals a continued rightward turn as billionaires everywhere bend the knee.

Who would have guessed that the H1B immigrant visa would be the thing splitting MAGA apart at the seams? From unhinged tweets by Elon Musk and Laura Loomer, to alleged censorship and arguments over lazy Americans, to discovering that we might actually have more in common than we think??? The infighting indicates a rocky road to come as Trump enters the White House.

Thanks to Lumen for sponsoring. Go to http://lumen.me/leeja to get 15% off and stay on top of your health goals this holiday season! | Elon Musk sent a few tweets and managed to get rid of a spending bill and nearly shut down the federal government. His newfound political power despite not being elected, and his close relationship to president-elect and alleged fellow billionaire Donald Trump, are pushing the bounds of what our government will allow in terms of unelected oligarchs and plutocrats influencing our politics. When will the madness end? Campaign finance reform now!

Luigi Mangione has been indicted on murder as a terrorist act in New York state. Doesn't all murder and gun violence create terror? What does it take to get charged with terrorism in this case? Who gets to decide the definition of terrorism? And how could the "terrorist" label be weaponized to take away the rights of activists and others trying to express political ideologies?

ABC and George Stephanopoulos have settled with Trump for $15 million in a defamation lawsuit that is an example of how Trump will operate as President. Our freedom of speech requires that we are able to criticize our elected officials. And freedom of the press is essential to keep tabs on political corruption. Trump knows this, and he and his allies are going to do everything they can to create a chilling effect on our press and our ability to criticize the government.

Luigi Mangione faces charges in the death of CEO Brian Thompson. Daniel Penny was acquitted in the death of Jordan Neely. Both are 26 year old white men who are likely to face very different fates. But are being applauded for being vigilantes. Is vigilante justice the answer to America's problems, or just a symptom of them?

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down in Manhattan on Wednesday and the response online has been... jubilant? What does this reaction have to say about the state of the US healthcare system and about inequality generally in the country that's supposed to be the wealthiest on earth? Turns out this might just be the beginning of some class consciousness here in these United States of America and, frankly, I'm here for it.

The outlook is not great for US v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court case that had oral arguments today about the Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for minors. The outcome of this case could either get rid of trans bans across the country or provide precedent for even more bans to come. And with Trump entering the White House, the future of the case is uncertain.

President Joe Biden just gave a sweeping pardon to his son Hunter Biden and Republicans are losing their minds. To them, the DOJ should do their bidding and anything that holds them accountable or goes against their wishes is a "miscarriage of justice." With Pam Bondi named Attorney General, Tulsi Gabbard named Director of National Intelligence, and Kash Patel named FBI Director, we're starting to get a clearer picture of how Trump will go after his "enemies from within" and what the DOJ and "justice" generally will look like under Trump's second term.
