You mention Hannah's piece on LinkedIn. Is it possible to read it without going through LinkedIn? E.g. on your blog? Thanks 👍

Will Democrats pledge to audit each of Trump's actions and undo those that are deemed to be harmful to the American public, the prosperity of the US. And the standing of the US on the global stage ASAP?
Let's see where the Democrats truly stand!

Dateline April 2027: Supreme Court rules 7-2 that the President has the authority to rewrite the Constitution, just this once.

Consumer Reports has a report about dangerously high levels of poisons in baby formula. Thanks, GOP deregulators.

Sugar imports have had a high tariff on them for decades. That's how come we have high fructose corn syrup in everything...

Also, is that the same car Bette Davis had in "What ever happened to Baby Jane"?

This is going to hit Trump states the hardest, so they're probably fine with it...

What's with the "Invalid handle"?

I think the point is that you can't get rich without being rich. No matter how hard you work. £30k or £130k makes little difference. But ineriting a fully paid off house is huge.
Astonishingly for the Torygraph, on this they are right: only wealth begets wealth.

I was thinking maybe expelling US diplomats - but that's perhaps a little too provocative...

That may be so, but I ask again: who will enforce this? The administration has shown every sign that it will act outside the law. Who will stop them? Who will stop the man who controls the FBI, the CIA, the US Marshalls service, the armed forces?

I'm eager to file. But I don't trust this effed up administration to do the right thing. I fully expect that they might "lose" my returns, or my refund, or any underpayment I submit.
When you lay off the decent people, all that remain are the extortioners

There is still nothing to enforce any judgement except for the conscience of people in the executive branch, all of whom are currently being replaced or just plain terrorized. My understanding is that when it comes to POTUS, justice basically comes down to a piece of paper and a handshake.

What worries me is: who is going to stop them? Let's assume 100 lawsuits come along and each one finds that everything Trumusk has done is illegal/unconstitutional. Trump ignores them, carries on. Is impeached. Carries on. There's no credible enforcement.

Surely the federal govt has no jurisdiction on this?

You could argue it's good editorial: they're explicitly telling you they only searched the database for England and Wales. Govt statistics divide the country this way. They're saying "We didn't check Scotland or NI".
Anyway, Ellesmere Port is a stone's throw away: you're welcome to it 😆

Historically this was the case. Before Brexit, the UK was the US's "man on the inside" of the EU. Hence President Obama's appeals for the UK to remain.

Could also be someone who is an expert in Constitutional law. It just feels this overreach is way beyond a "Constitutional crisis."
Like doe "enumerated powers" mean anything?
