There comes a point where it has to be faced, because to hide it is to lose everything.
That point comes to HN at least once an hour since the start of 2025.
For a site primarily intended to be about computer tech, the funding and business of tech startups, with explicit guidelines suggesting to reject US politics there are still large numbers of active threads on US politics, DOGE, Musk, et al daily.
.. and that's after 9x decimation.
So, throttled back to allow room for other submissions is largely what happens here, "hidden" is a tad hyperbolic.

> and if it goes beyond the scope of executive powers, it will be curtailed or shut down. The position of the executive order is that only the President can interpret laws, including executive orders about interpreting laws. That is to say, if the courts try to stop it, Trump may try to say "the courts don't have that power" and order the DoJ and/or military to block anything they do.

#78We have a government that has been completely capture by the elite. Democrats are the oligarchs good cops offering performative resistance while ultimately consenting to anything that boosts their brokerage accounts and re-election budgets, while republicans are the oligarchs bad cops, directly weakening regulation of those with power, protections for those without, and systematically destroying any force that can st…
I still don't buy the bothsidesism. You say at first they are part of the coup, quietly approving of what is happening, then pointing out the commentary by state AGs that this is a a power grab.
We agree this is a catastrophe, but I don't think that media and the liberal political parties are willful codefendants.

Nuclear-armed dictatorship, and the strongest military power on the planet, run by Donald Trump. All bets now off.
Well he is talking about disarming US nukes
Well he already started firing the employees in charge of the nuclear arsenal..

That is not what the EO says. You’ve been misled by a Reddit post.
It seems extremely straightforward to me.
> The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch.
"The executive branch" includes the DoJ and the United States Marshals Service, who do all the actual boots-on-the-ground work for the judiciary.
This is an obvious lead in to "the President's interpretation is that the courts can go screw themselves", at which point the deciding factor becomes entirely whether law enforcement listens to the courts or listens to the bosses who pay them.
