Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.
The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.
This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

The markets did everything they could to hold steady in the face of the Jerome Powell subpoenas, but I’m not sure they’ll do well with this news.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:
The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.
I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

A long-term effect of Trump is obviously to strengthen China, while weakening the international commitment to democracy. Even pro-democratic countries will align with a stable authoritarian regime rather than one that is threatening to attack them.
The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.
