1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

The journalists I know at @NPR.org and @PBS.org are among the best in the business -- smart, open minded, independent and totally professional. Trump made clear in the Oval Office today that what he wants are journalists who will tell him that his policies are "wonderful," not ask tough questions.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
