Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally wrecking the White House to build a ballroom for his billionaire allies. It's the perfect symbol for his presidency.

It always seems to come back to Russia, doesn't it? Every time it leans away slightly, Putin reaches out and says something. And - like the short ride in The Beast, Trump flips and Putin's talking points become his.
Whatever Putin has on Trump, it's a lot. It's like the original sin.

Bondi purports to appoint an “emergency police commissioner” and orders specific DC policy on sanctuary laws to be deleted from police guidance.
I’m no expert, but this seems illegal under the Home Rule Act, which says only that the President may direct DC police to “provide services.”
