No, you just need a Congress that takes its oath to the Constitution seriously
We need constitutional amendments to take back some of these expanded executive branch powers. Maybe we create a 4th branch of government that is independent of the President. The SCOTUS let Trump go too far. There is much that can be done, but it will require constitutional Amendments.

This is sad, but good: Artists are refusing to normalize this idiocy, and instead of just commanding performances - which they can't do - the Trump people are closing it down and slinking away.
CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

You know what tv show was ‘woke’ years before Star Trek? Perry Mason… One episode had a white woman as the judge. One had a black man as the judge. The bailiff later was a young black man. Women had their own agency. Asian characters never were stereotypes. If you look up Paul Winfield’s…

Do I need to re-tell the story of how I stepped in at the last minute to fund the local hockey league's season but then parents complained until they kicked me out as a sponsor because they didn't want their kids playing on The Effin' Birds?
That’s someone who is truly dedicated to being offended.

Maybe there won’t be an invasion simply because the military won’t know where the fuck they’re supposed to go.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.
Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

Rep. Casten has it absolutely correct: Trump is *both* weaker *and* more dangerous than ever.
Buckle up, but don't be afraid. Because fear is how he wins.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Interesting insight here
Even 5 years ago if you had told me CBS News would go this way whereas the WSJ wouldn’t it would have surprised me — ultimately I think purveyors of business news are the only ones insulated from these dynamics because when rich people are paying you for market-moving news you can’t mess around.
