The criminal investigation of Powell demonstrates Trump’s insatiable desire to control the levers of the economy.

It also shows how silly Trump’s allies in robes have been in assuming that Trump would stay within the limits they set for him.
Trump’s latest attack on the Federal Reserve is the Supreme Court's fault
The justices gave him a loaded weapon. Of course he's using it.

Arizona Republicans are advancing a bill to criminalize protesters who “obstruct” ICE arrests, broadening the definition of obstructing government operations to target direct action and solidarity at immigration raids.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

The military assault on Venezuela, the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, the launch of the White House’s new revisionist website about January 6—these three events convey a powerful and unsettling message from Trump and his crew:

Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want.
