This one doesn’t even claim to actually be able to stop states from passing laws. Just that they’ll “sue” states if they can find some way to claim the law violates existing federal laws. They’re gonna get laughed out of court. Again.

Europe to Trump: Your Ukraine peace plan is no plan at all
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s ceasefire blueprint is a blow to dismayed Europeans who thought Trump finally understood that you can’t trust Putin.

“Liberal defenses of democracy falter because they treat politics as rational and procedural. They treat the symptom not the disease. Democracy is a system of feelings. Citizens must feel included.”
The Politics of Humiliation | Richard A. Greenwald
The liberal jeremiad warns that democracy is fragile, institutions must be defended, and that vigilance is the price of liberty.

No release... Fine. We'll just make up the narrative, because Vance says it's okay to make up information. "Whatever it takes."

“It should send Donald Trump a four-word reply to his blustering threat to sue the corporation in Florida for $1bn in damages: ‘See you in court.’”
The four-word message the BBC should send Trump about his $1bn lawsuit
The corporation must show it will not be cowed, unlike American broadcast media, and call the president’s bluff

Senators and reps, and even some of Trump's cabinet have 14- and 15-year-old kids/grandkids. This point needs to be made repeatedly, so every time someone says "Epstein" they see their own child's face.
