Both of Trump's biggest moves of the past week entail the evisceration of a constitutional role the Framers very plainly and expressly wanted Congress to play.
Trump Writes Congress out of the Constitution—and Congress Says Fine

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

🧵 Two days ago, Rev. Melech E.M. Thomas, pastor of Baltimore’s iconic Payne Memorial AME Church, opened his door to a DHS agent.
Why? Because he dared to criticize ICE on social media. This is the knock at the door Black America knows too well.
