    Dear Governor Whitmer and other members of the Michigan Democratic Party,

    Do you see what all that recent Trump ass kissing has gotten you? Now smarten up, grow a spine, and fight back!

    The main thrust of the administration’s argument is that the federal government should determine national energy policy, not individual states. Legal experts said it was highly unusual to sue to block other lawsuits that have yet to be filed.

    But muh states rights!

    An “unusual move”? Nice phrasing there, NYT.

    I wonder if history will call it an “unusual move”.

      History isn’t going to call it anything at this rate because there won’t be anyone around to read about it.

        Fascism tends to last about 10-15 years on average. The thing about fascism is that it is unsustainable by its very nature.

        Economic policy is always about global isolationism without any actual though process behind those policies, leading to hyperinflation.

        Fascism also depends on having an in-group and an out-group. Now, the “out-group” are immigrants with brown skin and trans people. This will expand to more groups after a while, then even more groups until it becomes massively clear that a genocide is happening. Soon after, they start to turn on themselves and they implode from the inside.

    Frivolous spending on lawsuits that the admin should not have anything to do with …

    Where’s DOGE to cut this bullshit?
