I come across a lot of news and views that may be considered contrarian to popular beliefs and opinions and rather than posting them in ongoing threads where they may be a bit disruptive, I figured I'd post them here. Feel free to post your own contrarian news & views.

One thing..........none of the stuff I post should be considered "hit pieces." They are being posted as food for thought, nothing more. Take everything here fwiw and dyodd.

Trump poised to destroy US democracy — and only the right-wing Supreme Court can stop him | Opinion​

How things work in the American system is like this: the Congress controls the money. The president spends the money, as directed by the Congress. And the courts make sure everyone obeys the law.

Donald Trump did something this week that could upend all of that, to put it extremely mildly, turning everything that we believe to be true about how things work in the American system into irrelevancy.

The White House issued a directive this week that orders a “pause” to all grants and loans that are dispersed by the federal government.

This is as profound as it is simple. If money is the blood keeping the body politic alive, Trump tightened his grip on the heart pumping it.

Elon Musk and DOGE are hacking the government​

Musk has embraced Silicon Valley’s most notorious instincts to “move fast and break things” in a lightning battle to muscle into the computer systems and power structures of federal agencies. As he did with his corporate takeover of Twitter in 2022, he has brought in a team to assess details such as office building leases, budget line items, vendor contracts and the performance of individual employees — with the stated intention of radically downsizing the organization.
