constitutional crisis
Three legislative attempts to future-proof the Republic against another Nixon—or another Trump—and why each failed or will fail. Nothing less than a constitutional amendment will do the trick.
authoritarianism
Like a player grinding through levels to unlock new abilities, in less than a year into his second term Trump has apparently succeeded in turning the most formidable military on earth into his own personal instrument of lethal power.
constitutional crisis
Whether the governmental system that comes after Trump is gone is better or worse than what came before him is up to us.
authoritarianism
Now is not the time for Jeffries or any other Democrats, especially Senate Democrats, to go weak in the knees over shutdown politics.
authoritarianism
Week by week and step by step, Trump is creating his own list of "subversives"--organizations, individual people, even entire American cities.

political repression
Trump's militarization of immigration enforcement and "crime control" is, of course, nothing more than a smokescreen for preparing for further such political repression operations in other areas of the country under the control of elected Democrats.
Government shutdown
If you're a member of the United States Senate in 2025, you don't keep writing checks to the guy who's in the process of actively destroying a 250-year-old experiment in representative government.

Donald Trump
In the weeks and months ahead, it may be necessary for each of us to make a life-altering decision: whether to confront the regime ourselves, in concert with like-minded people loyal to the constitutional Republic.
Alien Enemies Act
If you live in a state with one or more Democratic Senators, tell them to refuse unanimous consent on any Trump-desired legislation or Trump nominees until he obeys federal court decisions barring his unconstitutional acts.
