The perversity of Stephen Miller channeling Joseph Goebbels cannot be overstated. The descendant of Jewish refugees from Belarus mimicking the words and attitudes of the chief propagandist of Nazi Germany is sickening. Do not turn away. Remember this. Stand up against this.

It's impossible to overstate how problematic it is for the White House to demand payouts or company stakes in the course of approving deals, hand-selecting acquirers, demanding corporate compliance or anything else.

There are also a strain of them who felt angry that large protests happened that year; they felt it was hypocritical. I don’t find that compelling, but they felt like they should be able to go to sturgis without lecture if people could protest re Floyd.

He hasn’t had to this year; he’s accomplishing what he wants and his buddies in congress and scotus seem fine to let him cook. It is crap governance, but the gop has no spine to stand up for constitutional design
Topkick75 (@mhaberman00.bsky.social) reply parent
Question these days is how long before scotus actually says no on the merits because 1) any lower court injunction gets set aside by this scotus, 2) there’s enough discretion in the order that incentivized entities to kiss admin ass, making them less likely to actually sue.

So if you ask yourself, “will the tech companies put up with this? Why won’t they fight against it?”, the answer is that they will focus their energies on staying on the regime’s good side, so they can get an exception.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.
