Historian here posting for no reason at all. U.S. Constitution, Article II Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

As with the EOs concerning elections, immigration and naturalization is categorically NOT an Article II power. To do this, the executive branch will undoubtedly try to hang its hat on some delegated authority by Congress. The focus now should be on clawing those delegated authorities back

CA, AZ & NM Governors should activate their National Guard for other missions right now. (TX is a lost cause). Keep control in the state - you'll need it before you think.

Senators Warren & Schiff have started an investigation, Sen Gallego complained, and AOC is sitting by with popcorn waiting to see which Congress members get exposed for insider trading in the May reporting cycle. Enforcement is going to be a problem now that DoJ & GOP Congress is on a leash.

The SAVE Act is a bill so extreme that for most U.S. citizens - including married women who have changed their last name - a driver's license, birth certificate, or state ID would be insufficient to register to vote. We should be making it EASIER for people to vote - not creating more barriers.

So is it “anti-Christian bias” to make fun of someone who randomly posts non-sequitur bible quotes which are inconsistent with their repeated actions? Asking for anyone who has heard of Senator Rubio.

This little anti-trans amendment stuffed into the MA budget bill (H.4010) looks pretty onerous even with the caveat language tacked on to it. www.boston.com/news/local-n... We should call our state senators to see if it can be yanked out before it becomes law. malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H4...

I’m not kidding; this is DOGE at work; multiple US citizens getting notices that they just leave the country because USCIS is revoking their humanitarian parole. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

The tone of this letter is really obnoxious. This is a sign of a DHS that is out of control and needs to be broken apart like an antitrust target and have its leadership purged. Noem, Lyons, Holman, DOGE, they all need to go. Split CBP from INS from other DHS departments and pare down their missions

This is horrifying. So many problems with this - Blackwater alums - for-profit prisons - El Salvador torture prison - mercenaries 'facilitating' deportation proceedings - US prisoners being sent overseas - fake US territory INSIDE a foreign prison Etc.

If true, this is BAD. You kinda knew that however this played out, the fix would be in for big investors, but to see it so blatantly is gross, and a sign that they feel they can act without consequences.

Has Donald Trump even acknowledged the massive flooding in parts of the country yet?

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

“A big country came up to me - this big powerful country - and they said ‘Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump’, with tears in their eyes, ‘Thank you for finally putting tariffs on China. We want to be your friend, can we make a deal?’

Of course, they’re not actually looking for antisemitism. They’re looking for brown immigrants who are critics of the United States and Israel’s policy and actions towards Palestine and they believe they’ve landed on a palatable reason to purge a lot of brown people from the United States.

An effect of the recent SCOTUS decision: Instead of nationwide restraining orders, limited TROs blocking the summary expulsions are cropping up across multiple districts.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

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.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
