Trump Derangement Syndrome is a thing invented by the cult followers of a pedophile/convicted rapist.

“any time any information came in that would mean he could no longer be President he would reject it. And any theory [...] no matter how not based in law, that would indicate that he could, he latched on to that. [...] we had very strong proof of that pattern.”

For those of you who don't know, the one on the left is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. On the right is John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader. They are both Republicans. They control congress. Legislation (mostly) can not be moved through their chambers without their consent.

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

Credit to WaPo for doing this story, when the NYT and WSJ haven't.
The only mention of Melissa Hortman over the last day or so is in stories today about Waltz not running for re-election.
Our national media is still, incredibly, after a fucking decade, not ready or capable to meet the moment.

Again, normalizing this stuff as part of legitimate political discourse is shameful & other choices were readily available:
Again, it is utterly shameful & demonstrates the total failure of all of our political institutions that threatening our closest NATO allies with territorial conquest has not immediately ended this presidency.
Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

If you don't know what Trump means when he says "we're going to run Venezuela," you are not alone.
The Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader also apparently have no idea what that means and are unable to answer basic questions about it:

It would be like him "picking" Charles III to succeed Elizabeth II: "Yes, thanks for your input, that IS the way it works, yes"

I’m usually at a moderate level of annoyance with the NYT but this is fucking outrageous. The US president doesn’t get to fucking pick another country’s leader, & headlines shouldn’t present it as just a normal decision, like picking a nominee for a mid-level federal agency. It’s not our colony!
