"The president is no longer bound by law, but he is protected by laws. The same laws that now permit him to, say, instruct Seal Team Six to assassinate the chief justice, also provide for him to complete his presidential term."

Mahmoud Khalil and Kilmar Abrego Garcia have become symbols in a larger struggle for the soul of America. Their fight to remain in the country–and how our justice system chooses to respond–foreshadows the kind of nation we are becoming. #Velshi

Another day, another Republican caught in years of sexual abuse of a girl that started when she was 7 years old. It’s ex NFL player Le’Veon Bell, one of Trump’s most vocal supporters. He’s ordered to pay $25M. #LockHimUp www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jur...

“Trump is engaging the full power of the presidency to settle scores. The White House was not meant for petty tyrants on revenge tours. In the biggest job in the world, Trump seems like a very small man.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o...

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

When President Biden issued an executive order to expand voter registration, Republicans called it an illegal Washington power grab. Now, the GOP is lauding President Trump's move to transform election laws by coercing states and bypassing Congress.

"'She told you Greenland is not for sale,' said one reporter. 'Will you take no for an answer on that?' Trump made it clear that he wouldn’t. 'I think we’re going to have it.'" Trump can't take no for an answer in any context. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/stop-gropi...
