Electricity prices jump after Trump rejects disaster aid for Michigan utilities
The president denied the state’s request for federal aid to rebuild power lines after a fierce ice storm last March, a move that could force thousands of rural electricity customers to pay the entire tab.

Looking at past authoritarian and concentration-camp regimes around the world, it wasn't always possible to tell in the moment what crisis or challenge to despotism would gain traction and trigger vast consequences. We should celebrate Boasberg and the appeals court judges demanding accountability.

One reason we failed in the past is bc we didn't build up popular opposition to the crimes, whether it's torture or drone-killing or even attacking Congress.
Now is the time to do that, not after Dems retake power.

If Democrats are ever in power again what’s going to happen is the idea of holding this administration accountable for breaking the law every single day is immediately going to be made out as the greater breach of the rules.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.
