Put a little differently, the question isn't — when it comes to state conduct of elections, certification of state elections and the seating of lawmakers — "who will stop *him*" but rather "who will stop *them*." (13/?)

He will likely try to interfere in those places where presidential power can have some influence, such as the USPS. He may direct DOJ investigations into particular states and districts. And he will certainly support state-level GOP voter suppression (11/?)

What we are seeing now, at home and abroad, is his attempt to inflict as much pain as possible in those areas where he has close to total freedom of action: immigration enforcement and foreign policy. But even there, there are limits — practical, operational and logistical constraints. (7/?)

He failed. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is home. The National Guard deployments were halted. Some institutions bent the knee, many others did not. Courts have forced him to reinstate fired workers. Congress has restored some cut funding. (6/?)

But there are places where Trump, as president, has relatively limited freedom of action and where the main points of opposition have been robust. Where states can contest his actions (National Guard deployments), he falls short. Where courts must litigate his decisions, he also falls short. (3/?)

Freedom of action? Immigration enforcement, foreign policy, the management and conduct of the executive branch.

Congressionally-sanctioned unilateral action? DOGE, budget impoundments, removal of executive branch officials. (2/?)

The parents' names are Shawn & Destiny Jackson. Though it doesn't say it in the article, I am assuming that they are US Citizens.

The airbags deployed in the vehicle after the #ICE savages threw tear gas & flashbangs in the car.

Their baby STOPPED BREATHING & LOST CONSCIOUSNESS!

The baby stopped breathing!

#ICELawlessness & savagery endangers our communities.

Ask your neighbors if they think this is freedom.

The Nobel Committee has also lost considerable respect and trustworthiness. Of course they can rescind Machado's prize. They just choose not to, and knowing that their inaction enables Trump's crimes and violence makes them complicit in his crimes.
