The president's powers are so broad because "the twin assumptions have always been that no president would want to deploy the military against American citizens and if such a depraved individual did come to power, the public would swiftly repudiate him."

Just as we suspected: wieners can't use hammers.
Barstool-founder Dave Portnoy doing some handy-work at his Nantucket home is a good reminder that if you are going to use a hammer, make sure you have safety glasses and know how to use a hammer. #raygun #MemorialDay #DavePortnoyIsAWiener

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process.
Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

This action is illegal and violates IRS regulations—specifically 26 U.S. Code § 6103, which protects the confidentiality of taxpayer information. To make it happen, Trump removed the top IRS lawyer and replaced them with a loyalist.

It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism.

The Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans.
U.S. weighs destroying $500 million in stockpiled covid tests
The government is reviewing proposals to shut down the program that ships free covid tests to American households and has been considering destroying 160 million tests.
