In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Trump spreads Kremlin propaganda, and GOP Senators look the other way. If they're silent, they're complicit. When Trump lies, they pretend not to hear it. When he breaks the law, they pretend it’s normal. The slope isn’t slippery — it’s a cliff.

I think we underestimate the prevalence of Billionaire Psychosis, when people get so rich they lose touch with reality. Musk wears it on his sleeve but he's not alone, staid "business leaders" like Jamie Dimon also live in parallel worlds where they're victims. Rationality left them long ago.
