Every American should be deeply troubled by this massive escalation, and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are standing strong for judicial independence. This is an unmistakable descent further into authoritarian chaos.

So, that new give Putin all he wants "peace" plan Rubio floated this week? It appears to be illegal under a 2022 American law Rubio himself helped pass.
