If I want to UPGRADE my Xfinity internet to spend more money, it takes a couple of clicks online.
But if I want to CANCEL, I need to go to the store or wait for a callback in two days.

If Trump is moving appropriated money around to pay the military, how come he doesn't just do the same for air traffic controllers or to keep parks open?
The GOP Congress has handed him the power of the purse. There is nothing stopping him from unilaterally ending the shutdown.

Trump's silence on the politically motivated murder of Minnesota Representative Melissa Hortman signaled approval for political assassinations. Renaming the Department of Defence to the Department of War further shows how he condones violence. He is the cause of Kirk's death.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

Opinion | Stop fretting about today’s Supreme Court ruling vastly expanding Trump’s executive power. If critics want to reverse it, they can just bring a similar case when a Democrat is president.

Seems to me a winning platform for Democrats would be to get rid of the laws Trump is abusing. Alien Enemies Act, gone Presidential unilateral tariff power, no more! Citizen United decision, weaken it until it's overturned!
