White House defying court orders, persisting with illegal action, and usurping Congress’ power of the purse, which would effectively end checks and balances. If that’s not a Constitutional crisis, what is?
Sorry, media, but like climate change, Constitutional crisis is out of “some say” territory.

We aren’t quite to the point of a direct and explicit defiance of the courts by the Trump admin. But the doomsday clock on our democracy ticks forward with this declaration from a federal judge.

I asked my 16-year-old yesterday if people at school were talking about “democracy crumbling before our eyes because republicans as a whole have decided they actually want that and nobody can stop it unless they form an opposition military?” 😱☠️
He was like “Uh, no, why, what’s going on?” 😅

I wrote this last October. Some friends said it sounded "unhinged". When power moves this fast, the people pointing it out will always sound a little crazy—until they don’t.
