Rep. Jasmine Crockett blasted Trump, and said what most us are thinking: “As far as I am concerned, Donald Trump is an enemy to the United States. When you are literally putting us at risk, because you want to convince your followers you should be a dictator.”

The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec
These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.

Okay, without trying to pass any judgement on the merits or who did what or why re: tiktok, I think it's notable that the rationale for enforcing the law seems to be a tacit rejection of corporate personhood by the government.

Banning TikTok might not curb China’s tech influence—it might just make it trendier.

Ok the Koreans are now just gratuitously rubbing their commitment to democracy and rule of law in our faces at this point.
We get it, you impeach and charge your would be dictators instead of reelecting them. You don’t have to go all super hero constitutional ninja on us
