Trump is literally declaring a civil war via social media.
I expect 0 congressional Republicans to say anything, Democratic leadership to write a strongly worded letter, and news media to tell us that we shouldn't use the "fascist" word.

Trump is going to start a war with Venezuela so he can use the Alien Enemies Act to circumvent all that due process stuff the courts have repeatedly said people are entitled to.

I realize it's unlikely because they've probably done the math, but it would be such delicious karma if the Texas GOP's attempt at redistricting spreads their margins so thin that Trump's shitty job performance is enough to tip the balance so that instead of picking up 5 seats, they lose 5 seats.

Trump just said everyone should read the Declaration of Independence... Presumably so we can see that he took the founders' list of grievances against the crown as a personal todo list.

Trump admin lawyers are saying the Alien Enemies Act allows federal agents to enter homes without a warrant.
I'd hope that this would never hold up in court, but the fact that they're even suggesting it is disturbing.

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.
I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

How many times in one week can Trump change his mind on tariffs before somebody picks up on the idea that he is in complete cognitive decline and should be immediately removed from office according to the 25th Amendment?
Trump says he will double tariffs on Canada metals to 50%
President Donald Trump on Tuesday doubled his planned tariff on all steel and aluminum products coming into the United States from Canada, bringing the total to 50%, in response to the province of Ontario placing a 25% tariff on electricity coming into the U.S.
