Today the Trump administration upped the ante by overtly treating federal judicial orders as optional. Once these thugs apply the same approach to the United States Supreme Court, expect the political shit to hit the fan.

Once Trump won the election and did away with his legal issues, he abandoned the 'forgotten men and women' he so sincerely promised to champion.

If only our system included a body set up to do effective oversight of the executive branch. If only we had...a Congress.
Wait, you say we HAVE a Congress?!
We have a Congress In Name Only. This is primarily due to Republicans putting party over democracy. But Democrats could say and do more.

For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

This. Especially Senate Republicans.
The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Still sorta wild to me that the John Thunes etc of the Senate and House are cool with this, happy to rise to enormous power only to be shunted into "advisory body" status by a carnival barker and an unelected bigot, content to have "passively ushered in a fascist autocracy" as their legacy
Yup. If the President can unilaterally stop Congressional appropriations, then we're past any 'guardrails.' Congress is now an advisory body; it does not control the power of the purse.
my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

For those who grew up in the 1960s/'70s, Trump's 1st week was especially painful and disorienting. His dictates were an all-out assault on the civil rights wins of that era, from Selma to Stonewall, ripping up the narrative of our lifetimes.
