If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

The current county board functions perfectly fine — what is the impetus to change it? The proposed district-based seats are unnecessary and will likely facilitate more division within the board due to exaggerated north/south differences.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

If US cities keep sprawling at the rate they did from 2001-2016, roughly 18 million acres of farmland would be lost by 2040 — or an area about the size of South Carolina. Sprawl, like we built in the past, is not the answer to the housing crisis.

Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer

A chorus of critics insist that building on undeveloped land is the only way out of the US housing crisis. But the environmental costs of unrestrained growth are overwhelming.

Public lands belong to all of us. Under the Republicans’ agenda, wealthy out-of-state landowners can turn our most beloved public lands into their private resorts. Not on our watch. Senator Hickenlooper and I are introducing an amendment to protect these places for generations to come.

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.

Tariffs are actually controlled by law. Trump can only raise tariffs because the current law says the president can declare an emergency and change rates. Congress could actually pass a law that repeals **all** presidential discretion on tariff rates.
