I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

This is a good moment to step back & remember that U.S. military intervention in Venezuela was 100% elective. This is what you see next to "war of choice" in the dictionary. Not forced on U.S. in any way by any pressing issue or imminent/actual attack. Just something POTUS felt like doing.

See, it’s not hard to denounce this and toe it into the larger pattern of criminality.
Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

There's significant evidence from state legislative term limits that they do, in fact, empower both lobbyists and state executive branches.
"Disagreeing" without offering any counter-evidence is just vibes.

I disagree with the suggestion that term limits would further empower lobbyists and therefore we shouldn't consider them as a viable path forward. The current system of federal elected officials who are financially incentivized to become insider traders until they choose to retire isn't working.

Upon further reflection, CBS Evening News' decision to shift away from interviewing experts and towards highlighting what regular people are saying is smart because the experts would just be screaming profanities tonight.

I'm suing the Trump administration for making it harder to protect consumers by illegally trying to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Nearly 2 dozen states sue the Trump administration over funding for CFPB
The attorneys general say the Trump administration is refusing to accept funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which could hurt consumers in their states.

I've said this before and I'll keep saying it: Dems need to start talking about how we have a man sitting in the White House who has a gross fascination and desire to murder other humans.
He is sitting in the Oval Office creating any justification he can to murder living people bc he WANTS to kill.

In unsurprising news: Trump is pardoning narco trafficker/ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez as we're learning that he's actively green lighting murdering civilians in open waters for the crime of being narco traffickers.

I think people weren’t really ready to come to terms with what it meant. A lot of the policy response after (e.g., suggestions to add a domestic terrorism statute) missed the forest for the trees. These weren’t rogue extremists — it was key members of one of two major political parties here.

i was just thinking about this. when a fascist squeaks by, it’s a mandate. when a progressive wins by a landslide, he needs to be deferential. it’s such bullshit.
as a texan i'll spare people zohran takes but one thing i think we're going to see even more of now that he's mayor is mainstream media shift the goal posts of what having a mandate is. trump had a mandate when he narrowly won but zohran has to reach out to all these factions no matter what

No one should be above the law. Violations of Constitutional rights should be considered the most serious violations of law. If immigration officers of the United States have jurisdiction then the Constitution applies. There should be no exceptions.
If the Democrats retake Congress this must be on the priority list of legislative initiatives.
Yes, Trump will veto it. But signing this bill must be a campaign issue for any 2028 Dem candidate.
