If you aren't ready to impeach, then take back Congressional powers
Text SIGN PXRIWU to 50409 — If you aren't ready to impeach Trump, then please, uphold the constitution.
Take back the powers that Trump has been arrogating to himself.
And please, restore the constitutionally guaranteed rights that have been removed.
I refer to the congressional power of appropriations, the power of the purse; and to the congressional power of setting tariffs.
Congressional control of agencies created and funded by Congress derives from the appropriations power. Defend those agencies!
Congressional appropriations and tariff powers are enshrined in the Constitution-- the document that both you and every president swears to uphold and defend.
Habeas corpus is a fundamental plank of our constitution and legal tradition back to Magna Carta. The illegal disappearings and renditions of immigrants without due process is the affront to the rule of law that marks the rise of a dictatorship. When due process, Habeas corpus, and innocent until proven guilty are snatched away, then no one is safe and the rule of law has been overturned.
If you are not yet willing to impeach Trump then please insist on maintaining constitutional order. Take back Congress's powers, insist on Habeas corpus and when the president defies court orders and attacks the judicial system take a stand and take action.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

This is important.
At Law Dork, I wrote about that Oval Office visit — and what it means:
Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S.
The Trump administration wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.

The purpose of the Trump/Bukele press conference is to spread fear among everyone who disagrees with Trump
It’s not downplaying to emphasize that fear is the point, a very large part of it -that’s how totalitarian governments work!
Therefore, don’t run around like a chicken with your head cut off.

I've literally been thinking about this all day.
It’s no problem when BIPOC folks were erased from government sites, immigrants are being terrorized & disappeared & the federal government is being disbanded at breakneck speed—
But let these rich White men start losing money on the stock market & there’s talk already about “stopping him.”
