Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

Yesterday elected Democrats were blocked from entering a fourth federal agency building. This to me is literally the definition of a coup unfolding.
I am urging you all to pay attention, call your two Senators and Representative, especially if they are Republicans!

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

J.D. Vance must’ve thought he was scoring points by saying “Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power," but of course controlling abuses of that power is exactly what Federal Judges must do — and what Judge Engelmayer did in this very case.

My take, essentially, is that we could be weeks or maybe even days away from the disintegration of the rule of federal law in this country. At some point this administration is going to stop obeying court orders. What then? Nothing good.
If I were the one who had made up the title of this episode, I would have added “—Or Not” to it. And with some emphasis on the “not.”

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

In Trump's America, it's open season for criminals. As Trump weakens the FBI, child sex offenders and murderers, pardoned by him, are back on the streets. Crypto scammers are given free rein to operate unchecked. Trump's America will be defined by rampant crime and lawlessness.
