We've been hearing this term "constitutional crisis" over and over. Please be specific, such as:
We have a dictator now.
So, no more elections.
No more Presidents.
No more Social Security.
No more Medicare/Medicaid.
No more allies.
No more science.
No more civil rights.
No more money.
No more food.

THIS IS NOT HOW ANYTHING WORKS
Trump has declared that all pardons issued by former President Joe Biden using an autopen—a device that replicates signatures—are “void, vacant, and of no further force or effect.” Unfortunately for Trump, that’s not how this works—these signatures are legally valid.

Trump administration basically arguing the President has the right to snatch any person off the street, helicopter them to a carrier in international waters before habeas papers are filed and then murder them or whatever since laws don't apply there
Breaking News: The Trump administration repeatedly stonewalled a federal judge seeking answers about whether the government had violated his order barring the deportation of more than 200 noncitizens without due process.
Trump Lawyer Refuses to Answer Judge’s Questions in Deportation Flight Hearing
The Trump administration tried to have the hearing canceled and sought to remove the judge overseeing it, as White House officials took a confrontational stance.

Our system of checks and balances has stood as a bulwark against tyranny for 250 years.
The way it works is no one man can dictate how our government works.
Congress makes laws, the president executes the laws, and courts make sure laws and rights are protected.
We give that up at our peril.

It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday.
And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.
