Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

Only the best people…

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
