I'd rather the next Dem president + Congress put into place a bunch of Court-curbing mechanisms *and* far more strenuous presidency-curbing mechanisms.
I don't think left-Caesarism is the best response here.

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.
Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

If you voted for Trump 3 times, and his policies put you out of business, shouldn’t you be asking Eric and Trump Org for your bailout instead of the rest of us?

Dear @apnews.com
The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.
Fix your headline.

Yes, even if Democrats are on the Epstein List, even Presidents, Philanthropists, your favorite Celebrities, I couldn't care less. All names should be revealed, and if these people preyed on young children, then F them to the ends of the Earth. Justice and truth should trump partisanship.

Normally, I’m critical of Murkowski getting more hate than her male colleagues when she votes for bad legislation.
Not in this case. She flat out said this bill sucks and she still voted for it.
I know she’s hoping the House bails her out, but this is unconscionable.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."
The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state

This is the game that every Republican has figured out. You can criticize something Trump has done on virtually anything, as long as you don’t mention his name. I’ve documented hundreds of examples of this.
