I've been saying it for a little while now and will say it again; we don't have three branches of government right now. We have two real branches (executive and judicial) and a junior varsity branch (legislative) that is acting like it's a smol bean with no power.

THAT is a constitutional crisis.
“We are all afraid,” Murkowski said... “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.” www.adn.com/politics/202...

U.S. Senators and Congresspersons: Remember, “It’s the economy, stupid!” Always has been and is now! Do something to stop this madness.

The economy is crashing and the President is fucking golfing.

He's hitting balls and I'm taking calls. This isn’t “America First.” It's Trump first. So, Mr. President, get your ass off the golf course and fix this.

Yes exactly.
NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy.
These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do.

They’re Not Tariffs, They’re Sanctions
Stop trying to place coherence on a policy that’s really just a mob boss breaking legs and asking for protection money.

Hahahahahahaha. So incompetent
Hawley makes a full-throated defense of Hegseth texting war plans to a Signal group that included a reporter: "Nobody can deny the success of what POTUS is doing here. This is what the leftist media is reduced to. They can't argue w/ the policies...so now we're griping about who's on a text message"

The fight for our democracy is not coming. It is here.

When I say that we have months, not a year, to save democracy, I'm talking about this coordinated, relentless legal assault on political dissent.

1/ Let me explain a few elements of Trump's plan: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...
With Orders, Investigations and Innuendo, Trump and G.O.P. Aim to Cripple the Left
The president and his allies in Congress are targeting the financial, digital and legal machinery that powers the Democratic Party and much of the progressive political world.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance.

Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin

WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

It's infuriating to see Trump and Vance badgering Zelensky before the cameras. Two corrupt fascists abusing a democratic leader.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.
