Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Why is ICE physically taking down a person without probable cause? This agent took him down using a choke hold and slammed him on the cement! And the guy never touched the agent! What is happening in our country?

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

How Trump gets and processes information

How Trump is making potentially lethal decisions
