The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

There is no text that cannot be manipulated and selectively ignored by the dishonest and evil, as reflected in, for instance (1) the Trump administration’s approach to birthright citizenship, and (2) increasingly, mainstream American evangelicals approach to almost everything.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

I want to point out that amidst the firehose of violated norms and challenges to the rule of law, federal courts are holding firm for the rule of law.
No rule of law, no democracy.
I’m grateful to those judges and their adherence to justice that rises above partisanship.
