Elon Musk Consulted Curtis Yarvin, Right-Wing Thinker, on Third Party

from the New York Times

As Elon Musk studies up on how to start a third political party, among the people from whom he has sought advice is a somewhat surprising choice of consultant: the right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin, who is perhaps best known for advocating monarchism.

Mr. Yarvin is one of the most influential thinkers on the so-called tech right, where he has attracted attention for his oft-expressed distaste for traditional American democracy.

He would not seem to be a source of the kind of expertise that Mr. Musk needs as he pursues his idea for the America Party — Mr. Yarvin is not an expert on the mechanics of creating third parties or on the strategies and intricacies of running third-party campaigns.

Still, Mr. Musk and Mr. Yarvin spoke late last week about the task ahead, according to two people briefed on the conversation who insisted on anonymity to describe it. A representative for Mr. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr. Yarvin declined to be interviewed.

Some of Mr. Yarvin’s friends over the years have included technology leaders like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, and Vice President JD Vance has cited his writing.

In talking with Mr. Musk, Mr. Yarvin shared some of his political theories, the people briefed on the conversation said...

Ready the Constitutional Crisis: White House Failed to Comply With Court Order, Judge Rules

by Scott Creighton

Here is what this means.

The judge, John McConnell Jr., will have a choice to make either to hold Trump in Civil or Criminal contempt of court.

In Civil contempt that means he will be fined a certain amount each day until he complies.

If it's Criminal that means he will have to issue a bench warrant for the president's arrest which would be carried out by the U.S. Marshal service.

However, the marshals operate as a part of Trump's Justice Department headed up by Pam Bondi. They obviously would be compelled to not comply to the order from the judge.

But there is a catch: federal law mandates that the marshals follow any LEGAL order given them by the judges. And that is what the Trump fascists are counting on.

The Trump administration, since they are trying to challenge the legality of the constitution itself, will simply claim the judges' orders (there will be more by the way) are NOT CONSTITUTIONAL and therefore NOT LEGAL which will give the marshals enough reason to pause at least until the ‘question’ of legality can drag itself thru the courts.

Use the constitution and rule of law to destroy the constitution and the rule of law. That’s what Hitler did in Germany when he got out of jail and came to power in 1930.

By usurping both congressional and judicial over-sight, Trump and his fascist minions of Nazi sympathizers are currently casting off the entire set of checks and balances upon which this country was built and opting instead for the unitary executive or DICTATOR route Dick Cheney spoke of decades ago.

Yes, this is already a constitutional crisis. It's the showdown he wants. They can drag it out in court until these agencies wither on the vine and can never be repaired.

They intend to use the constitutional protections designed to afford the accused due process of law to destroy the constitution itself. And yes, that is exactly what Adolf Hitler did in Germany in 1930.

from the New York Times

A federal judge said on Monday that the White House had defied his order to release billions of dollars in federal grants, marking the first time a judge has expressly declared that the Trump administration is disobeying a judicial mandate.

The ruling by Judge John J. McConnell Jr. in Rhode Island federal court ordered administration officials to comply with what the judge called “the plain text” of an ruling he issued on Jan. 29.

That order, he wrote, was “clear and unambiguous, and there are no impediments to the Defendants’ compliance.”

Shortly after Monday’s ruling, Trump administration lawyers appealed the judge’s initial order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, asking the appellate court to pause Judge McConnell’s order to keep federal funds flowing while their case was being considered. The White House responded with more defiance.
