If you ever need to explain the term "resting bitch face", just show people a picture of Pam Bondi at her Congressional hearing. Talk about licking piss off a nettle. #Bondi #checksandbalances #fascismenabler

The Economic Consequences of #Populism
"Most populists weaken a state’s economy, especially in the long run. They do so in large part by undermining the #RuleofLaw and by eroding political #ChecksAndBalances. […] Populists, in other words, hurt the 'real people' they claim to be saving."

Checks and balances, homies. The Constitution establishes a system of separation of powers. In other words: No.
Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that only the president can speak for “what the law is”
(This is not how the Constitution works)

Trump suing Maryland judges for upholding basic due process is authoritarian, plain and simple. This isn’t about immigration — it’s punishing judges for doing their jobs. We must protect judicial independence. #RuleOfLaw #AbregoGarcia #ChecksAndBalances

If the Supreme Court fears Trump will defy them, that’s not strategy, it’s surrender. When courts fear the powerful, law becomes performance. Full breakdown on Substack. #SupremeCourt #RuleOfLaw #ChecksAndBalances #JudicialIndependence #AmericanDemocracy

History shows that the greater the power, the greater the temptation to act unethically. It’s time to implement oversight to protect the integrity of the Court and restore public trust. #JudicialAccountability #ChecksAndBalances

As a proud American, I truly hope the #checksandbalances I learned in school shows up IRL (to use millennial phrasing). In theory, our judges, who are the judicial branch, MUST stop this blatant TYRANNY! Not only is it unconstitutional, but treasonous! It's why TREASON is in the constitution!
“This is a blatantly unconstitutional order”
BREAKING, via The Seattle Times: Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship is blocked for at least the next two weeks by a Reagan appointee in Seattle who eviscerated the Trump lawyers present defending the order. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Any judge that is hearing a case challenging a Trump/Musk action should demand a $1 million personal performance bond from the Administration's relevant official guaranteeing compliance with the court's orders if it finds against the Administration. #ChecksAndBalances

Half of the Legislative Branch is apparently fine with handing over their power to the Executive Branch while the majority of the Judicial Branch is bought and paid for by the Executive Branch.
I’m sure We the People will be just fine tho. #checksandbalances

Trump Kicks Congress to the Curb, With Little Protest From Republicans
The administration is showing it doesn’t view the House and Senate as equal partners. So far, Republicans, who hold both majorities, are accepting their new status.
