    Trump is terrible and has done horrific stuff and poses a real threat to America, but the idea that we are at some sort of real low point in American history with regard to how various marginalized groups are treated is something only a very privileged person could come up with

    I know some people think talk of authoritarianism is overblown, but declaring a state of emergency to circumvent domestic political opposition would be a pretty authoritarian thing to do.

    Don't believe us? Run the calculations yourself and see what you get. This is the form in which trust will be restored to journalism. Transparency ("see for yourself") rather than authority ("we're the pros at this.")

    One of the enduring phenomena of the Trump era is going to be the list of statutes that give far too much power to the President, but that we didn't used to worry about because we assumed there would be political safeguards. Today's entrant: The National Emergencies Act of 1976.

    Donald Trump lost the popular vote in 2016, lost the House in 2018, and his big idea now is to double down on an unpopular policy by forcing an extended government shutdown. There's this belief out there that Trump's political instincts are gold. They're not.

    Earlier, Trump said he'd been called by tech companies who complain that they can't keep highly educated foreign workers schooled in the US. He says this is a "ridiculous" policy. *His own policy* has been to make it harder for such people.

    I can't believe I have to fact-check the president on this, but you can't "apply for citizenship" at the US border. You can only apply for it if you have a green card, which you can only get if you have specific existing ties to the US.

    "I think she dishonored herself. And I think she dishonored her family," Trump says, then calls it "highly disrespectful to the US of A" re new rep saying Dems will "impeach this motherf**ker." Trump in '16 repeated a woman's use of "pussy" to describe Ted Cruz from a rally stage

    This is incredibly important for Congress & country. I sincerely hope that this cmte makes well-informed, evidence-based, actionable recos that appreciates US House doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Reform can BOTH improve common good & goals of single-minded seekers of re-election.

    Whoa. WSJ editorial board rips into Trump, saying his comments on Afghanistan were a "slander against every ally that has supported" the US effort in the country and adding, "We cannot recall a more absurd misstatement of history by an American President."
