Reining in Rogue Presidents How ambiguities in the law gave Trump power he could seize—and what a future Congress can do about it.

All of these excesses can be reined in, if not entirely eliminated, by Congress—or at least by a Congress not under Donald Trump’s thumb. All it needs is the wisdom to recognize its own crucial role in creating this problem.

Just finished reading Separation of Church and Hate by @johnfugelsang.bsky.social This Doubting Thomas, librarian loved it. Especially this line:

MeidasTouch host Ken Harbaugh on the front lines in Ukraine

So, it would not be extreme to say that he’s a shady character. What’s his motivation to seek public office? Altruism? Not likely. As usual, follow the money.

This obviously raises more questions about Joe Biden's mental competence

Republicans have a pattern of making it easy for criminals to get firearms and endangering law-abiding citizens.

This problem only grows thanks to Donald Trump and his allegiance to the gun industry.

lol lmao

The Missouri people are trying to put fair representation on the ballot & GOP are stalling! If they believed in their message, why would GOP NEED TO RIG ? THAT'S THE QUESTION WE SHOULD ASK GOP EVERY DAY, ALL DAY

I said at the time, and still believe, that he was releasing his personal private army. How many J6ers joined ICE?

Sen. Booker: "The president himself has said it's the president's responsibility to bring the parties together and get a budget passed...And the president hasn't done that."

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.

“Portland is burning to the ground” is an empirically verifiable/falsifiable claim. If our oligarch-owned media were interested in truth rather than serving the regime, they would report it as false every time he said it. They could for example be in Portland and look around and go “hmm, nope”

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

Some good advice SPOTTED over I-440 in Nashville…

💥 Russia: Kstovo Oil Refinery struck by Ukraine in Nizhny Novgorod region.
Daily refining capacity of 340,000 barrels - 6% of Russia's total refining capacity.

Judge Immergut is a woman.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market.

Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee.

Stephen Miller was always a POS. Here he is in high school, already looking middle-aged, giving a student government speech:

“Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up our trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?”

Last week, I shared an article about why Military Occupation can't happen in the U.S. - written by former DOD.

But Cy Canterel goes one step further to argue that even TRYING military occupation during a simultaneous economic crisis would expedite regime collapse.

‼️russia is masking its failed summer offensive with attacks on the population, - Kallas

The head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, responded to the recent massive shelling.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
