Remember when the President directing the DOJ to do literally anything would be a months long scandal that would almost certainly end in impeachment? I miss those days.

Trump just said this about his DOJ's Alaska lawsuit: "I'm the one that said do it."

Remember when using the DPA had never happened because it is the government interfering in the market in very Soviet way and how under Biden and Trump we use it all the time, like to try to get more oil because reckless war with Iran was a really bad idea? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

What I miss is the days when most adults could go through their lives without having to hear about or even THINK about politicians for months or even years at a stretch.

Assuming (fingers crossed) the Dems are returned to Congressional power, I do hope they codify some of the past DOJ "best practices" as law so we don't have to depend on future good will. I fear that some Dems are rubbing their hands together gleefully thinking of having these powers *themselves*.
