75. Executive orders
Tue Jan 20, 2026, 12:30 PM
Yesterday

Are not law nor are they precedent setting. They are also not enforceable without coercion and therefore entirely reliant on voluntary cooperation in the absence of coercion. We already have TV, radio and internet providers gleefully broadcasting propaganda into homes across the country and have for at least 30 years. There is no need for "state-run television" and in fact, they're obviously against it because the "state" can change to talking about big bird again. So no. Plenty of reason to point and laugh, much less to hand wring, imo.
