The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ed Martin Is Trampling the Rule of Law. And He Won’t Shut Up About It.

What Happened: Trump-appointed interim U.S. Attorney and extremist Ed Martin is aggressively reshaping the Justice Department into a political weapon, launching investigations into career prosecutors who worked on January 6 cases, threatening Trump’s critics, and offering DOJ resources to protect Musk. He has also targeted journalists and sought to seize Biden-era climate funds under dubious legal claims.

Why It Matters: Martin’s actions are part of Trump’s broader push to weaponize the DOJ for political retribution and against opposition. By dismantling independent prosecutions, targeting journalists, and shielding Musk’s operations, he is eroding the rule of law and paving the way for authoritarian control. This isn’t justice—it’s a power grab.
