Our best things from the first week of the Second Government Trump

Of the Dispatch Weekly on The Dispatch

Hello and Happy Saturday. Say what you want about what brought us to this point, but on Monday we were allowed to witness an old tradition. Certainly, the decision to keep the event indoors because of the cold weather, some traditionalists upset, the celebrities in the audience received a little too much attention and many people contempt both parties who were represented on the big stage. But the peaceful transfer of power after a heated campaign reflects important American values, and I admit that I got some tears in my eyes when my Ohio State Buckeyes were the trophy in the air after beating the Notre Dame in the College’s championship match Football Playoff.

Wait, did you think I was talking about the inauguration? Okay! (Again.)

At the second most important event that took place on Monday, Donald Trump took the office to start his second term as president. But even his inaugural speech – in which he demolishes high -flying patriotic themes in favor of party political rhetoric that sometimes looked more like a stupid speech – felt subordinate to the actions he undertook.

On his first day, Trump signed 26 executive orders, including the proclamation of a national emergency on the southern border, in addition to other immigration measures, a national energy state, an order to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, an order to the Gulf of Mexico Reduce to the Golf. From America and – perhaps the most controversial of all – a statement that ends the birthright.

But they were not just executive orders. To reverse a “serious national injustice affected by the American people over the past four years, the president has converted the penalties of fourteen people involved in the storming of the Capitool on January 6, 2021 and granted general grace to All others have been convicted of participating in the riots who tried to undo the results of the 2020 elections.

In Boiling frogsNick wrote about polls that show that the J6ers are unpopular and noted that, although politicians would generally avoid political liability to associate with such figures, Trump is’ shameless’: ‘His superpower makes a spectacle of his shamelessness to To convince Americans who need to know better that there is nothing to be ashamed of. “

Trump did not need any encouragement to perform these actions, since he had promised to perform them all or largely during the campaign. But the arguments that his executive orders and beneficial measures were unprecedented or a challenge for the rule of law had received a preventive blow during the last days of the Biden government.

President Joe has already granted a general grace to his son Hunter- who not only relates to his federal arms and tax convictions, but also to all other ‘crimes against the United States that he committed or possibly committed between 2014 and 2024 or has committed or in which he participated. ” Biden granted preventive grace to five family members on Monday and also to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the retired General Mark Milley and the Commission of 6 January, including Liz Cheney, to protect them against the threatening retribution by Trump.

Kevin Williamson criticized the grace, which came in the last minutes before Trump’s inauguration, and wrote that “Biden’s decision to grant people against whom no research has been done … has no clear precedent in the law.” Perhaps there was no precedent for what Biden did, but his executive performance certainly created one: “Biden just gave a charged political gun to the man who brag about his ability to get away with the shooting of strangers on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight . “

That is a lot for a week, but we have only just started. Immigration and customs enforcers have already started arresting and deporting illegal immigrants. The Senate confirmed on Friday evening Pete Hegseeth as Minister of Defense-in which vice-president JD Vance casts the decisive vote-despite new accusations about abuse against his second wife who emerged this week. The controversial nominees Tulsi Gabbard (director of the National Intelligence Service), Kash Patel (FBI director) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Secretary of Health and Human Services) are all planned for mounting hearings next week.

It sometimes feels like we are drinking from the fire hose. If it is all too much for you, don’t feel guilty if you take a break from the news: read a book, visit a friend, bake some cookies. As far as I am concerned, I will be here to view the highlights of Buckeyes. Thank you for reading.

The silent lawlessness of Joe Biden

Sarah Isgur

Now that we are entering a second Trump government, there is a lot of concern about the institutional destruction that the newly chosen president could cause. Could he apply for an unconstitutional third term? Ignore the Supreme Court if it declares his immigration enforcement actions illegal? Threaten TV networks with difficult rules and investigations if they broadcast or refuse criticism of his government? … But although these people were worried about the violations that Trump could commit, they actually committed Biden. He was perhaps less frank about his lawlessness than his predecessor, but he has caused considerable damage to our constitutional order and the rule of law in the name of appeasing political supporters and attacking political opponents.

It is remarkable that Heritage chases a Republican president. The Institute was the brainchild of conservative activists who were stunned about the way in which the domestic policy of another Republican president with whom Trump is often compared, Richard Nixon, had taken a turn to the left by his embracing of wage and price checks and some elements of the social security of the Great Society. Welfare programs. The emerging conservative movement had her magazine (National Review) and her political polar star (Ronald Reagan), and now she had a home for market -minded, anti -communist and socially conservative policy makers. Heritage may have achieved its peak during the Reagan government, but it remained an important force afterwards because of the generation of ideas and the strong bond with a still powerful conservative movement. But now that the rise of the Maga movement crashed the old conservative consensus, Heritage apparently could not go anywhere else than Trump.

The Department of Government Efficiency from Freedom of Information Act, transparency regulation and the circumventing difficult federal staff laws, offers maximum political and operational flexibility to President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, leader of the ‘Doge’ initiative. Trump has formally recorded his efforts to streamline the government on Monday via an executive order, within a few hours of taking office. And by shifting the existing American digital service from the Office of Management and Budget to the executive office of the president and transforming the agency into the American Doge Service, Trump ensured that it would not fall under the Freedom of Information Act, But rather under the Freedom of Information Act. Presidential archive law. The latter law gives presidents a huge room to keep communication and information secret for the congress and the public.

The many disadvantages of ending the birthright citizenship

The termination of birthright citizenship would immediately harm the American competitive position on the world stage, because it would unnecessarily weaken an important demographic advantage compared to our great rivals. Although the precise figures are subject to guesses and will depend on how the Trump government defines exactly which immigrants are ‘illegal’ here, historical estimates indicate that about 7.5 percent of all babies born in the US do not in the future longer will be considered automatic citizens. This would amount to more than 250,000 children a year, and in practice this number will probably be much higher if the definition of ‘illegal immigrant’ will be extended to those who remain in the country after their programs for conditional release or temporary protected status are ended.

And here is the best of the rest:
