this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

No. Official sources do not show that a president can rename the term "artificial intelligence" itself.

Another way of making this point: The wheels may be coming off the Trump administration and the authoritarian movement energizing it. But a large tractor-trailer barreling down a highway at full speed whose wheels come loose is very dangerous to innocent people in the vicinity.

There is a cottage industry on that other site of people in official government legal jobs affirmatively misstating or misrepresenting what rulings are about and then expressing surprise that anyone could possibly disagree. Just the latest example—from the Solicitor General of Iowa:

“Can President Trump use lawful authority granted by Congress to deport illegal aliens to third countries? The Supreme Court has stayed an order saying no twice, now stayed a permanent injunction for a third time. Oddly, 6-3 despite a similar posture to the Missouri First map”

She's produced or directed more than 30 documentary films and won a number of awards for her work. Kennedy is grossly abusing his position and power.

Millions of dollars that Trump is using to support Republican candidates was donated to his PAC by wealthy fraudsters and their family members before they were pardoned for their crimes. Instead of crime victims getting restitution, Republicans got campaign cash from the felons.
