I have a theory why #25A has not been invoked. Usha's husband is waiting until 1/21/27 to do it so he can still run twice for re-election.

FWIW, given the crappy letter that Trump sent to Norway regarding his hurt feelings on the Nobel, plus his rejection of talking by phone, plus the childish way he is toying with Greenland and the EU, I'd guess that their response will by week's end be substantial & significant, against Trump.

Fukuyama: Trump is a bully who wants to dominate everyone around him. Trying to placate him with concessions is a fool’s errand. He despises weakness.

What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Comparing protesting to a bank robbery while Trump pardons meth dealers.
Harmett Dhillion threatens Don Lemon: "Imagine you have a bank robbery that's being planned by a number of criminals ... and then a podcaster says, 'Let me embed myself in here and come along for the ride and livestream the crime.' That would not be protected by the 1st Amendment."

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.
