If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

The Founders & our Constitution anticipated would-be tyrants & Mad Kings. What they did not anticipate was universally pervasive cowardice grounded in hyper-partisanship & a pathetically deep lack of personal character among a supermajority of our elected representatives.

We are up against a president who is eliminating accountability in federal court for his friends and co-conspirators. It's up to local prosecutors in places like Philly to make sure they know that if they come to Philly, they can F around and find out.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
