Trump Writes Congress out of the Constitutionโ€”and Congress Says Fine The question regarding the Qatari plane deal isnโ€™t whether itโ€™s corrupt or illegal. Itโ€™s both of those. The question is, who will stop it?

Both of Trump's biggest moves of the past week entail the evisceration of a constitutional role the Framers very plainly and expressly wanted Congress to play.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Melech E. M. Thomas

An agent from the Department of Homeland Security came to my apartment door this morning and questioned me about my critique of ICE on social media. I'll say more about this later, but I just wanted to put everybody on alert that we are being monitored. As for me, l'm good. Might have been shocked, but I ain't never been shook. Keep speaking out for what's moral and just. God is on our side.

๐Ÿงต Two days ago, Rev. Melech E.M. Thomas, pastor of Baltimoreโ€™s iconic Payne Memorial AME Church, opened his door to a DHS agent.
Why? Because he dared to criticize ICE on social media. This is the knock at the door Black America knows too well.
If you think this isnโ€™t authoritarianism, wake up.

Booker: "What this president is doing is violating our constitutional principles, violating the fundamental rights of people in order to punish them to carry out his own retribution plan ... Donald Trump is saying, 'ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for Donald Trump.'"

This guy is going off about DOGE cutting the program to address first responders' health problems as a result of 9/11:

"Some ignorant kids took their chain saw to a program...The unconscionable, disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, malicious actions of DOGE is an atrocity..."

Trumpโ€™s Latest Executive Order is a Shamโ€”and a Warning From Marc | The greatest threat to Donald Trumpโ€™s authoritarian dream is not the courts โ€” it is free and fair elections.

It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
