Senators and others need to keep Senator Padilla from being pushed again—pushed off the front page.

Southern Senator Brooks assaulted abolitionist Senator Sumner on the floor of the Senate.

Don’t let this get forgotten

Trump & GOP sponsored the ban & Congress voted it into law & SCOTUS upheld it. Trump’s TikTok EO promise burned the 2 branches—his EO will just sweep aside the ashes.
This isn’t “uncharted territory,” Prof. Kreps. This is a planned burn.

Next up? 14th Amendment.
