Congressional investigations are likely the ONLY accountability this administration will face. Bondi won't arrest anyone. US officials can't be tried at the Hague. And even if we get a new AG in 2029, Trump is going to pardon everyone. These midterms are crucial for accountability.

The Supreme Court is an unelected group of Republican political operatives who say they get to decide what the constitution means—and what our government can do.
They do not have any popular legitimacy. They don’t get to tell us what the constitution means, or decide what OUR government can do.
