The moral squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers.

Both the Republican-controlled Congress and conservative Supreme Court Seem hellbent on abdicating their duties to a tyrant.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

The cruelty & lawlessness of this administration is on full display.

Deporting U.S. citizens is illegal. Separating families & withholding medication from a child undergoing cancer treatment is immoral. Denying due process is brazenly unconstitutional.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam.

Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

In just three months in office, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has produced a run of chaos that is unmatched in the Pentagon's recent history. His inner circle — military veterans who, like him, had little experience running large, complex organizations — is in shambles.
