Until the Democratic Party can come to terms with the fact that it is just a giant fundraising machine that allows vendors to siphon off money which weakens the party's local presence it will continue in this cycle of whiplashed wins and losses.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Unitary executive theory assumes that the President is not just a King, but has deep knowledge of the working of agencies, or delegates to people who will act consistently with his preferences to the point that they should be allowed to ignore the law.
USAID illustrates why this is nonsense.

This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.

I have repeatedly emphasized the danger of further Russian occupation of Ukraine, because it would mean that Russia, preparing for a future war in Europe, would gain not only Ukraine’s infrastructure, but also additional mobilization potential - Ukrainians who know how to fight.

Really something to think that one man--Donald Trump--is letting his minions freelance the fate of not one but two countries' citizens (Ukraine and Venezuela), and those minions don't agree on much but most want to sell out one and bomb the other, and the world is reduced to tantrum management.
One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.
And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.
