Only 3 Republicans in the House (4 vacancies) and 20 Republicans in the Senate are needed to impeach, REMOVE, AND CONVICT Donald Trump. Only 23 People – 23 people MUST summon their courage and do the right thing.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.
But none of them has the balls to do it.

The Legacy Museum, which is “perhaps the closest thing America has to a national slavery museum,” is free from government control and displays the “history that the Trump administration aims to de-emphasize—if not outright erase,” @clintsmithiii.bsky.social argues.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

Also, not a con law guy, but don’t think the idea is that the 4th Amendment aims to PROTECT arrest powers but to LIMIT them.
They are trying to invert a Constitutional that focused on negative liberties (“state can’t do x”) to constrain the state into one of positive liberties FOR the state.
