Speaking of resistance, Dan Froomkin zeroes in on the strong resistance to Musk-Trump being fostered in Black churches, where African Methodist Episcopal bishop Reginald Jackson states,

"'Considering his assault on virtually every government function that helps ordinary people — suggests another dimension to his revenge tour. It is almost as if he wants to inflict pain not just on a specific set of individuals but on the entire nation as well.' America is the woman who dared to leave him; he's the obsessed ex-boyfriend bent on punishing her for daring to consider her needs instead of his."

"who were shoved aside or just not noticed by the new kids in town, and the collapse of the US economy will be expensive, for thee and for me if not for them. …

"I am tired of mainstream media pretending that neutrality and gullibility are the same thing. They need to stop saying this is about efficiency– or as NBC recently put it 'cost-cutting efforts'--because the government actually had experts on costs and expenditures and efficiency in place," (continued in /6)

Meditations in an Emergency · Federal Government Mayhem: Week Seven of the Stupid CoupThe language might sound similar but the difference between being rational and assuming Trump and Musk are rational is the difference between recognizing what's going on and pretending what's going on is sensible or sort of normal and not a howling rampage of destruction and destabilization that belies all their

"The truly concerning aspect is how easily the media has normalized this behavior [the insane Tesla commercial at the White House, i.e.].. By treating it primarily as a quirky story about Trump buying a car rather than a serious breach of ethical norms, they're laying the groundwork for more of this behavior."

"The central problem, which the mainstream-media coverage elides, is that Trump doesn’t seem to understand how tariffs work. He talks about them as taxes on foreign countries, when in fact they are taxes on imported goods, generally paid for in the form of increased domestic prices. …

"In a span of only 50 days, President Trump has done more than any of his modern predecessors to hollow out the foundations of an international system that the United States painstakingly erected in the 80 years since it emerged victorious from World War II. …

But perhaps the more remarkable thing is that Mr. Trump is eroding the old order without ever describing the system he envisions replacing it with."
