JOHNSON: “Killing people and then deciding maybe it’s not a good idea is their rationale for reconsidering their strategy ..? .. This is not a ‘my bad’ or ‘I’m sorry’ moment. Believing that they can behave with impunity is an insult to our democracy.”

Our elementary school booster club has stricter bylaws around budget appropriations.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

The crackdowns are intensifying. The Maduro regime remains in power, with Delcy Rodríguez in command. This was never about democracy or protecting the people of Venezuela. They continue to live in danger and fear while Trump cuts deals with the regime to seize their oil.

This is the classic response of a psychopathic and fascist political leader.
Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.
"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."
"I don't need international law."
