This illustrates how the Supreme Court facilitates presidential authoritarianism. By declining to enforce federal laws that bind the president—except for laws it likes—it invites presidents to challenge legal boundaries. Our democracy needs a court that enforces federal law, not one that defies it.
The Supreme Court goes out of its way to say that its order today does NOT allow Trump to remove members of the Federal Reserve because it is "uniquely structured" and has a "distinct history tradition." (I do not think those distinctions hold water.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

ICE had a warrant, but the targets had moved out and US citizens were living there.
They and their kids had to stand in the rain in bedclothes while ICE stole their devices and cash as "evidence."
It's only going to get worse.

We have not even begun to find a way to politicize the gross corruption of the Trump Administration. Just the outright firesale of impunity for people who pay him for it.
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
