He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution

He’s fine with a recession

Americans can do with less

All the supposed Christians in the Trump administration should be appalled by this, especially during Holy Week, when we remember another man unjustly imprisoned...

Trump officials renew opposition to ruling on Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador
The Justice Department’s latest legal filing asserted that courts cannot direct President Trump’s foreign policy by forcing the return of a man unlawfully sent to a Salvadoran prison.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents.

I will not back down.
I will not bow or scrape.
I will never obey.
Trump name-checks Marc Elias and says he tried to turn American into a communist nation (big, if true)

It's almost as if a gibbering degenerate President with zero understanding of markets or respect for the rule of law who is engaged in moronic tariff wars and a wholesale betrayal of our alliances is bad for the market.

Strange how that happens.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Somewhere someone needs help. Send love. It matters.

If you can’t get there yourself, then take a deep breath.

Breathe in the weight of their troubles.

Breathe out and send all those burdens into the Light,
where sorrows can be held with the most tender and infinite grace.

Every day America's bloated, self-inflated savior of the insecure, reminds us that he is little more than a sad, scared, fraudulent child who hates so many in an effort to feel less hatred for himself—will not prevail either.

We will not allow it.

This is the truth:
The body of our nation is being disemboweled and skinned alive by a few hundred corrupt, greedy, self-dealing, traitorous individuals who don’t care if the rest of us live or die.

This is an excellent and important post - I linked it on Sunday to my large audience of mainline/liberal Christians. This is of particular concern to non-Trumpian pastors, whose congregations & people will be disproportionally impacted by attacks on Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.
I agree with the writer that progressives should absolutely invest in improving customer experience. Its a good promise, but I am not sure it changes civic beliefs. OTOH, progressives should be shouting from the rooftops about how Trump will damage services.

"What can I do?"

That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question.
