What Musk & Trump Are Doing Is Not Constitutional. Don’t Lose Sight Of This
From day one, I’ve believed that Musk & Trump didn’t have the constitutional authority to do damn near everything they were doing. A Federal Judge yesterday affirmed that belief when he ruled that Musk & Trump did not have the constitutional authority to shut down USAID. Let’s hope similar rulings follow Hosted on Acast.

Simple Question: Should Trump Be Able To Do WHATEVER He Wants? Even If A Judge Says It's Unconstitutional?
The mad, cruel, dishonest tyrant in the White House lashed out this morning in a social media post complaining that because he won by a "mandate" no judge or court should be able to stop him from doing what he wants. Now Trump is an idiot and a narcissist, so no surprise he feels that way, but…do the American people agree with him? That he can do WHATEVER he wants? Hosted on Acast.

Trump Doesn't Give A Damn About Court Orders Or The Law. Do The American People?
He's doing what he said he would do. He's moving fast, he's acting like a king, and he's defying the law.

And will the American people rise up and oppose him? We shall see. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chuck Schumer: A Man NOT Made For This Moment
Schumer said he’s voting for the GOP spending bill. What a wussy. In a moment with a radicalized Republican Party led by Donald Trump and that calls for a real FIGHT over the Constitution, Schumer thinks he’s back in the 1990’s dealing with Republicans like Bob Dole. I know I’m a broken record, but Democrats need to fight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What About People Who Aren’t MAGA Right or Far Left? What Do They Do? A Conversation
I sat down with freelance opinion writer Kimberly Ross. She doesn’t belong to either side right now. She will rightly criticize both sides. We discussed what it feels like to not belong to a political team these days. And even though I help Democrats because I consider MAGA a unique threat, truthfully, I’m in the same lonely spot Kim is in Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
