Note that it looks like the copy writers changed the headline to “Trump Dares The Courts To Stop Him” for brevity, but this opinion appears on the front page with the headline I put in the title: https://kbin.melroy.org/media/fc/27/fc27e0c7624e758a8ba71e9891453b7539167b9139dd753602dd8016f5a5bfce.png You can also see the long headline at https://archive.today/2025.02.13-135321/https://www.nytimes.com/ .
We are in the constitutional crisis, right now.
These articles are the slow boil designed to inspire complacency calmly stating “hold, not yet, hold, stand your ground” when the time to act was yesterday.
Nailed it.

Meanwhile, he’s outright ignoring the courts
Maybe if the New York Times wasn’t such a blandly conservative institution things would be mildly better.
Checks and balances have completely failed as congress has been captured too. Even democrats are now taking the mask off and complaining that the uppity populace is asking them to do something contrary to their corporate overlords.
