Clark: We elected this so-called strongman who rolls over on his back for Putin and abandons our democratic ally in Ukraine. And we’re sending the vice president and his wife to a contained base in Greenland because the people of Greenland don’t want them outside of it. What are we doing?

1/ Among other horribles, a proposal coming out of the DAG's office to reorganize DOJ includes ending the Community Relations Service, which may not seem like a big deal unless you've worked with them a lot like I have. They were created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. www.justice.gov/crs/about

Jeffrey Goldberg calls out Mike Waltz on NBC over Signalgate: "This isn't 'The Matrix.' Phone numbers don't just get 'sucked into' other phones. I don't know what he's talking about there … He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Thanks, SCOTUS & Chief Justice Roberts!
From the immunity decision: Investigative and prosecutorial decisionmaking is “the
special province of the Executive Branch,” Heckler v.
Chaney, 470 U. S. 821, 832 (1985), and the Constitution
vests the entirety of the executive power in the President,
Art. II, §1. For that reason, Trump’s threatened removal of
the Acting Attorney General likewise implicates “conclusive and preclusive” Presidential authority. As we have explained, the President’s power to remove “executive officers
of the United States whom he has appointed” may not be
regulated by Congress or reviewed by the courts.
