The very first thing we need to do when we win the midterms is court form on SCOTUS. Pack the court. Term limits. Rotating appointments per Presidency. Ethics requirements with teeth. All adopted by Congress under statute.

This is a testament to all Oregonians who stayed non-violent in the face of federal troops and counter protestors trying every day to turn up the heat to give Trump the on-the-ground optics he desperately needed. Good on you!

If you were waiting for the right moment to call your Congressperson or Senator, now would be that time! Demand action, before it is too late!
For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.
We’ve Officially Entered the Next Phase of Trump’s Dictatorship Era
Taken together, these actions and declarations amount to a significant escalation in Trump’s transformation of his own presidency into an autocracy.

This is all anyone should be talking about.
“On Sunday, Sorokin said in court documents that CBP had received notice of the court order but ‘nonetheless thereafter willfully disobeyed the order by sending [Alawieh] out of the United States’”
“On Sunday, Sorokin said in court documents that CBP had received notice of the court order but ‘nonetheless thereafter willfully disobeyed the order by sending [Alawieh] out of the United States’”
“Despite judge’s order” is the line. There are no other boundaries to cross. This is the difference between a republic and a dictatorship in a single phrase and they walked over it not just knowingly, but eagerly.
