Probably the most effective use of soft power ever, Trump and his band of idiots have obviously started to decimate the Peace Corps. Yesterday, dozens of PCV opportunities. Today, Zero.

This hits home. My daughter is supposed to start a PCV stint in Namibia in August.

It’s definitely a constitutional crisis. What will Congress do? Anything? What do you hear?

When Nixon and Alexander Haig and probably other presidents overreached, someone pushed back and set them straight. Who will do that now??
