MAGA influencers are being offered access to “the White House—the perfect backdrop for any viral video—and the heady sense of being insiders. In return, all they have to do is ask questions that would make a Soviet propagandist blush,” Helen Lewis writes:

Trump just appointed Scott Bessent's deputy, Michael Faulkender, as acting commissioner of the IRS—the third acting commissioner in ONE WEEK. So now let's hear from a competent, Senate-confirmed former IRS commissioner, who has lots to say about this lawless clown car of an administration.
A former IRS chief on Trump’s attempts to gut—and weaponize—his agency

They celebrate by cheering the persecution of immigrants, people of color, & people who care for the powerless.

Senator Van Hollen cannot be any more clear as to what this is all about.
It’s about the rule of law. Period. Not the whims of an authoritarian or our feelings toward any individual.
If you allow it to be dismissed for even one person. Any person. You risk suffering the same fate.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."
