THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

Two weeks in and it's become painfully clear the Trump administration is not working to lower costs for Americans.
Firing independent federal tax dollar watchdogs and working to freeze federal funding doesn’t bring prices down for Americans! But it’s great for chaos and corruption.

He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
