Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

A petition on @change.org is calling for Congress to stop getting paid during Gov. shutdowns, arguing that “citizens are penalized constantly, now elected officials should face some penalties too” and I support this message. 👇

So even though the courts have told #Felon47 to release the SNAP benefits, he feels he needs to get the go-ahead from a higher court, just to confirm it's legal for him to do that.

The guy indiscriminately using military to kill fishermen is the guy worried about the legality of something?

Very suspicious timing between the false claims being made, leading to a devaluation of the brand, back peddling on those false claims, followed by a quick purchase at the lower price. Smells a lot like collusion and market manipulation.

When normal people are in charge of the government again, among many things, presidential pardon power needs to be severely limited, or even abolished.

ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news.
