The executive is usurping a core Article I function, this should be treated with the same amount of alarm as if he declared he's disbanding Congress, because that's functionally what he's doing/done

The People have the right to choose their own leaders. This is not, actually, a right that only exists once every four years!

Demand that he be removed from office and prosecuted! When Republicans refuse, go around shouting about how they've abdicated their duty to the People!

If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

Right, Congress and the courts are now advisory bodies. When they act in a way the executive agrees with, they are used to lend legitimacy to the appearance of democracy; when they don't, they're ignored

at some point, and i say this without hyperbole or hysteria, we are about to become one of the few major nations that i am aware of to give virtually nothing to its citizenry except the boot. virtually every other country at least pretends it some sort of obligation to its people

This week Trump hung a copy of the Declaration in the Oval Office. I doubt he's read it, but if he has, he seems to be using it as a checklist, rather than to understand why the Revolution happened in the first place.

Seeing folks on the other site claim that Alien Enemy Act removals are not reviewable by courts.

The statute explicitly requires "a full examination and hearing," and there are literally *dozens* of reported cases from the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II:

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

the truth about jd vance is that he’s almost certainly right that his classmates looked down on him and they were right to do it

Only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer from leadership and replace him with someone willing to fight

Passing this CR is putting a bandaid on a bullet wound while the gunmen are still shooting. You can even make an argument that it could be worth it! But if you vote for a partisan GOP CR loaded with poison pills when the president is promising to impound it, what exactly are you doing?
