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.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Shame on you @ABC. Trump illegally changed the name. He didn’t have the authority to change the name. So it’s not real. Just like the Department of War isn’t real. Fuck you ABC for being such cowards.

The content here is idiotic but what's really striking to me is his faux tough-guy act. No one is buying that he's an alpha male because he says "bullshit" on live TV (and he still feels like he has to soft-pedal it by giving an equivocating apology). He's just such a phony.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.
