A sitting president, demanding that elected officials be imprisoned. Let that sink in.

Over their objections, he federalized troops from Texas to enforce his will. This is not theater. It is not a tweetable grievance. It is an unprecedented assault on constitutional norms, federalism, and the rule of law. And yet, the media’s reaction in certain circles will almost certainly be muted. And it absolutely should not be — and cannot be.

      Russia’s warnings grow more stark as trump considers new missiles for Ukraine

      Unbelievable that trump put himself in this predicament where Russia actually said that "trump would ultimately decide against their provision because he knew how to listen." The Anchorage summit was a humiliation and that is Putin's take on the matter: That trump knows how to listen (to Russia of all countries.) Putin warned that the weapons would mark a “qualitatively new stage of escalation” because Ukraine could not fire them without the U.S. personnel. He suggested, however, that Trump would ultimately decide against their provision because he knew how to listen.

      Ted Cruz Wants to Make It Easier to Sue the Government for Censorship

      I don't particularly like Senator Ted Cruz but this bill is worth considering... WASHINGTON—Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) is calling for changes to the legal system to better protect consumers from government censorship, a move that comes weeks after he criticized the Trump administration’s push to have late-night host Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air. A recent drop in Kimmel’s ratings before his suspension “means my podcast was kicking Kimmel’s ass every week,” Cruz said. The two have previously sparred on social media and played a charity basketball game in 2018 after Kimmel compared the senator to a blobfish.
