Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I’ve been accused of being a conspiracy theorist because I insist that the BBC had everything to do with the rise of Farage & his Reform party. This chart just focussing on BBC Question Time (2010-2020) shows there was bias towards the platforming of anti-EU MEPS especially Farage. I rest my case.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

A day after Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, and Trump is again attacking Zelenskyy – sounding indistinguishable from a commentator on Russian state TV. And repeating the Kremlin lie that Ukraine started this war. Trump casts shame on himself and our country.

Trump is refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to do so. This is a constitutional crisis. How can it not meet the threshold for articles of impeachment?

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.
