He gets credit for it. I don't think it outweighs his menace to our democracy, but his team helped make it happen. (Well, Bibi attacking Qatar helped - a lot.)

Every GOP Senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr. and now stays silent as he crusades against vaccines, which have saved 150+ million lives, is complicit in the disease outbreaks that may result.

Someone tell SCOTUS.

I read Caleb Nelson's piece on the removal power and I was taken with a reference he makes in the conclusion.
When the First Congress confronted the same ambiguities, more than one member warned against interpreting the Constitution in the expectation that all Presidents would have the sterling character of George Washington.  The current Supreme Court may likewise see itself as interpreting the Constitution for the ages, and perhaps some of the Justices take comfort in the idea that future Presidents will not all have the character of Donald Trump.  But the future is not guaranteed; a President bent on vengeful, destructive, and lawless behavior can do lasting damage to our norms and institutions.  As one member of Congress argued in 1789, we should not gravitate toward interpretations of the Constitution that “legaliz[e] the full exertion of a tyrannical disposition.”

Imagine their healthcare package.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

I used to think my problem was that I couldn't keep the leaves green. I'd pour all my energy into the branches, and be confused when they'd wither again.

It took me too long to realize I was diagnosing and caring for the wrong end of the tree.

I was ignoring the roots. A thread on root causes. 🧵
