New in PN: Law for lawlessness "In a brisk 4 paragraphs, the Court’s six GOP justices all but demolished the legal basis for the independent agencies. The decision highlights the lawlessness of the Court and is likely to further embolden a president who is very keen to place himself above the law."

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

The Trump administration claims to be “ending the weaponization of government," but behind Trump's Orwellian day one executive order is a blueprint for turning the DOJ into his own personal political weapon. We’ve seen it used against judges and now, it’s being aimed at a sitting member of Congress.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campaign, he would make a point of saying the press is NOT the enemy of the people. Thinking of President Biden as he takes on this next battle. Godspeed Mr. President.

Every accusation is a confession. That’s an ironclad rule with the GOP. Take it to the bank. They know that Trump is addled and that others like Stephen Miller are actually calling the shots. So they accuse Biden of the same—even though he didn’t even run against Trump. It’s textbook projection.
