Trump has relinquished the presidency — and there's only one sane response

Image
People ask me almost daily: “Can he really do this?” My answer: He’ll do anything he can get away with. He believes he can get away with anything as long as his Republican lapdogs remain in control of Congress, as long as congressional Democrats remain wimpy and disunited, as long as the Supreme Court immunizes him from prosecution, and as long as he feels he can disregard lower-court rulings with impunity. This is why it’s so urgent that We the People are rising up — making a ruckus at Republican town halls, phoning our senators and representatives so often we’re jamming congressional switchboards, joining our local Indivisible resistance groups, demonstrating, forming sanctuary communities, and boycotting corporations (such as Tesla and Target) that are caving to Trump. Another thing we can do is stop recognizing him as president. He may occupy the Oval Office, but he has repeatedly violated his oath of office to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United State...

'Null and void': Ex-DOJ prosecutor reveals 'big problem' Trump now has in federal court

President Donald Trump recently invoked a centuries-old law to justify the deportations of hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum security mega-prison in El Salvador without due process. But one former federal prosecutor now believes Trump may have backed himself into a legal corner . During a Friday night segment on CNN, host Kaitlan Collins recalled how Trump said earlier in the day that he didn't sign a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (which hasn't been used since World War II) to deport alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang, even though he stood by the decision to remove them from the United States. The president also said that "other people handled it," mentioning Secretary of State Marco Rubio without prompting by assembled reporters. Trump made the remark in response to a reporter asking him for a response to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg accusing the administration of signing the proclamation "in the dark of night...

'Republicans used to care!' Nicolle Wallace shreds GOP as 'hostages of the MAGA movement'

Image
The potential confirmation of President Donald Trump's personal criminal defense attorney to the federal bench is a bridge too far for MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who unleashed on both Trump and Republicans on Tuesday. During a recent impromptu monologue on her show "Deadline: White House," Wallace expressed alarm that former Trump lawyer Emil Bove could soon be confirmed as a U.S. Circuit Court judge for the rest of his life. Wallace launched into the monologue after former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade commented on the hyper-partisan context of Bove's appointment as Trump has forced his far-right politics on the federal judiciary. "[Trump] has said he's very angry at Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society, even calling him a 'sleazebag' for giving him bad advice. He has privately indicated that he is very disappointed in Amy Coney Barrett and some other judges that he has appointed," McQuade said. "He has this very transactional view ...
