Here’s a good example: Trump wants lower interest rates. If he could fire the Fed’s members, he’d get them… … which would send inflation higher each time he lowers rates trying to make things “cheaper.” Which happens in banana republics run by incompetent dictators.

Small-state protection is amply demonstrated by those states’ outsized influence in the U.S. Senate. And the College’s purported protections against electoral manipulations has been eviscerated by Cirizens United’s big money. It was a 1787 compromise that is now outdated.

That Trump called for a Russian diesel deal that violates a Russian sanctions law he just signed shows: He feels he has no obligation to follow any law; He plans no farther than what he’s thinking about right now. This is no way to run a business or a country, which is why he sucks at both.

🚨BREAKING: Voting rights groups are citing recent ICE activity near voting sites and new evidence of intimidation as they expand a lawsuit seeking to keep armed federal agents away from polling places during the midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

Trump’s so desperate to distract from his criminal incompetence that he’s going after the First Amendment. There’s no going back for him. He might keep MAGA cultists, but he’ll lose in court, he’ll lose swing voters and he’ll lose the Midterms. He’s done.
