Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

This is a positive step forward after courts found the Trump Admin’s actions here were blatantly unlawful. We must continue fighting to end this president's lawless acts, like the illegal detentions of students like Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk & others.

Mr. Krebs is spot on in this quote. Everyone should listen to him & quit obeying in advance.
“I don’t think this lay-low-and-hope-this-blows-over approach is the right one for the moment we’re in,” he said.

No capitulation will ever be enough. Total surrender would not be enough. The only thing they want is to wear the “boot stamping on a human face—forever.” Only complete unwilling subjugation will ever scratch that itch. It’s mental illness that metastasizes over generations.

His actions (whimsical tariff whiplash, explicit disregard for conflicts of interest and the rule of law, violating his oath to uphold the constitution, etc.) are more than sufficient to impeach him. Whether it's malicious self-service, sociopathy, stupidity, senility--the reason doesn't matter.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies.
They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.
