The entire reason you curb the exercise of arbitrary power is it prevents one asshole's mood swings from wrecking an entire country! You don't praise it when it momentarily swings in your favor
Positive early Senate GOP reaction to Trump pausing his own tariffs:
“Terrific,” says Ted Cruz.
“Relieved “ says Ron Johnson.
“Great leadership,” says Eric Schmitt.
Susan Collins says it’s not enough and Congress needs to retake its power to impose tariffs from the executive.

We still don’t. It’s deranged tyrant shit, and that’s the problem in a nutshell. A legitimate policy would never be this stupid or harmful, and we don’t have dictators in America. So the authority needs to be removed, along, ideally, with the tyrant himself. www.offmessage.net/p/we-dont-ha...

of all the things the administration is doing, i am a little mystified by this effort to completely destroy the science, technology and medical research sector in the united states
Exclusive: Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered NIH to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice. scim.ag/4if5Rg1
NIH freezes all research grants to Columbia University
Amid negotiations with Trump, the university could risk losing nearly $700 million

It's easy to give up and disengage right now - but Chris Kluwe isn't doing that.
Kluwe stood on business in Huntington Beach tonight for marginalized folks, and was arrested for his act of civil disobedience.

Would Pete Buttigieg and Adam Kinzinger hold a daily press conference on behalf of the Democratic Party as a rebuttal to Trump's WH press secretary. Please no political spin, just the actual truth. It could start with opening comments then end with Q and A. We need you.

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.
