Congress and SCOTUS are terrified of a situation where they say no and Trump says fuck you I’m doing it anyway. They seem to think if they do stuff like this, they can preserve the fiction of constitutional order.

Right. The thing about this is that, if a power only exists so long as you never use it, then it doesn't really exist

This is basically how the entire British state works lol (except they're all kind of up front about it)

On the one hand, the presidency is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the other hand, Congress is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the third hand, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally broken institution.

Exciting day in Kenmore, where we broke ground on the Sound Transit Stride S3 Bus Rapid Transit line, which will connect folks with reliable and frequent service to Link Light Rail, and BRT at 405!

And I have 13 years serving on my City Council, including 4+ yrs as Mayor. What's your point?

It seems willfully tone-deaf to me that @sightline.org sees progressive, pro-housing leaders like me and @masonthompson.bsky.social push back on this, and their response is to assert that they know better.

It should tell you something that some of your most pro-housing, Urbanist-endorsed local electeds are pushing back on this.

Housing is needed, desperately. But we need to balance that with the need to build and keep our downtowns and commercial spaces for the amenities that our residents demand.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Don’t Be Fooled By the Corrupt Court’s Tariff Decision The depth of the Supreme Court’s corruption has forced us to find...

"The fact that a president can illegally exercise such powers for so long and with such great consequences for almost a year means we’re not living in a functional constitutional system."

To be fair Brazil and South Korea cracked down on Yoon and Bolsonaro *precisely because* they have been dictatorships in living memory, and the UK monarchy let itself be investigated like this *because* other monarchies collapsed. Assuming your institutions are unimpregnable per se... not so smart

Trump has perverted the Department of Justice, turning it into his own personal law firm, so this is just acknowledging in the crudest terms what they've done to it.

The Constitution says "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." Presidents who violate the Constitution should be impeached and removed from office.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

If they can't do what they're doing without breaking the Constitution or the law, then what they're doing is illegal.

Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.
