Maybe we beed some kind of political campaign finance laws that separate the president from the congress?
Some way of enforcing some kind of independence at the congressional level.

Remember folks, we have a criminal president who has crimed his whole life...so he feels he's been (unfairly) "targeted" by the law his whole life...so he's just doing to his enemies what he's felt has been done to him.
Because he can't understand he's a criminal.

Looks like Greg Bovino is the chosen fall guy as the Trump admin scrambles to navigate the anti-ICE backlash. Reportedly being "forced into retirement" and denied access to his social media accounts.
Don't accept it for a second. Keep pushing for full accountability.

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

The regime and many of its supporters are surprised to see so many people in America define "Us" as "my neighbors, my city, my state, my country," rather than as "my race and gender."
And they seem to have real trouble processing the idea of taking risks to help others and stand on principle.

They cannot believe that white people would put themselves in harm's way to protest the atrocities of ICE. They cannot believe people would go out in subzero temperatures to protest their brutality. They cannot believe that people would organize to let the world know evil has no place here.
