So if Trump issues an executive order suspending the Constitution now, each federal district judge would have to block that for their own district? So you could end with the Constituion suspended in parts of the country but not in others? #SCOTUS #Trump

On the 84th anniversary of Operation Barbarossa, I am reminded that throughout history, madmen at the helm with delusions of grandeur pay the costs of their blind ambition with the lives of both vocal supporters and those resisters dragged along along for the ride in equal measure.

Everyone should say it:

The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.

Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.

But that's not what's interesting about Miller.

It's not brains. It's bile.
