If only we had a body, one with democratic legitimacy and powers conferred by a Constitution, that had the authority to overrule a president who seeks to impose arbitrary tariffs and deport people who fled here to escape oppression. It could be called the Congress of the United States.

Hey, look, the Department of Justice has a public comment line where you can urge Merrick Garland to release Jack Smith's full, unredacted reports regarding Trump's election interference and classified documents cases (www.politico.com/news/2025/01...). Let's clog it up! www.justice.gov/contact-us
