If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Trump absolutely needs to be impeached and removed or hit with the 25th amendment. He will leave the entire world a smoldering ash heap if he's not checked immediately.

Does Congress have any red line where they constrain Trump? He just unilaterally went to war against Venezuela. (Spare me any technicalities; we literally attacked them and kidnapped their president. That is effectively a declaration of war and he doesn’t have to put it on a scroll of parchment)

Trump said he would try again for the Nobel Peace Prize this year so he began the year with… an illegal war of regime change in Venezuela, after spending Christmas Day bombing Nigeria.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Even though sure to fail, this is absolutely worth drafting articles of impeachment over and getting votes on the record. Trump, Rubio, and Hegseth are criminals, need to be removed, and preferably spend the rest of their lives in prison.

If you're following the government shutdown fiasco, all dems asked for was for healthcare subsidies to not be cut (weak & soft). Trump & MAGA said fuck off, refused to negotiate, lied & said dems were trying to give healthcare to "illegals", & proceeded to blame dems for the looming shutdown anyway.

First he said “don’t even bother dealing with” Democrats to avoid a shutdown. Now he’s cancelled a meeting with Democratic leaders. Trump is holding the government hostage—demanding a blank check for his lawlessness or he’ll shut it down. I will not surrender to his blackmail.

What ICE just did to me was a violent abuse of power — and yet it’s nothing compared to what they’re doing to immigrant communities. I’ve been fighting the right as a journalist and now I’m running for Congress to do the same in DC. Because we deserve leaders who will actually stand up for us.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths. ENOUGH. I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:
cbsnews.com
Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for U.N. food distribution in Gaza as more starve
Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House. When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases. For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.
Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show:
	•	Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.
	•	Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.

Key takeaway box below reads:
“Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.”

Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.
