Rage is mounting among President Donald Trump’s allies over the losses that Trump’s agenda has suffered in court, which are clearly becoming a serious obstacle to him. It’s gotten so bad that Elon Musk shared a tweet from someone who suggested that it may be time to defy the courts. Musk also boosted Trump allies who are seething over these rulings. All that amounts to a pretty dark threat from Musk: He and MAGA appear to be steeling themselves to defy judicial rulings. We talked to Norman Eisen of Democracy Defenders Action, who is litigating against Trump, about how successful the legal resistance has been thus far, whether Trump and his allies will defy the courts, and what would happen if they did. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.

Some of my friends keep telling me that I’m being hyperbolic about the state of our democracy and they bring up Nixon as an example of how the legislative and judicial branches prevailed in the end. I remind them that there were enough votes in both chambers to impeach. Who here thinks the GOP would ever push back against the king? I certainly don't. The only way to enforce a federal judicial ruling if the executive branch refuses to obey it is for the US Marshalls to intervene. The USMS is part of the DOJ, so I see little chance of that happening. I am not optimistic about how this will unfold.

I think the move to Project 2025 fascism using Dark Enlightenment propaganda as a bait has been pretty clear, the only thing that's changing is how obvious they are being about it. Not like people in their cult will ever know, since they consider shitposts valid counterpoints.
