Lisa Murkowski has the ability to fight back more effectively than most. Rather than giving into fear, she should give in to anger. And then she should do something about it by refusing to cast one more vote in support of a president and an agenda whose primary mission is to instill fear.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?
