Trump’s Tariffs would be held illegal if the Constitution’s separation of powers were taken seriously. Hell, they’d be struck down by Trump’s Supreme Court if its Major Questions Doctrine and its commitments to original meaning and textualism were consistently applied to Article I and IEEPA. 🔥

The GOP tried to advance the SAVE Act requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. It did not pass. Now Trump signed an Executive order to require proof of citizenship except he doesn’t have the authority. Only states can require an ID. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/A72uNoFQuSjO...

With his elections executive order, Trump claims powers he does not have — MSNBC

In a brazen power-grab, the president is trying to assert new authority over federal elections. Court fights appear inevitable.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

BREAKING: Senate Democrats have the votes to block the Republican Continuing Resolution, which was loaded with poison pills. Sen. Schumer says the Democratic caucus is unified on a clean short term resolution that would keep current funding through April 11.
