Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

An executive order isn’t the same as a law and can’t by itself change election rules set by Congress. Trump said on Truth Social that there “will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not,” and that he’d issue an executive order if the SAVE America Act fails.

Trump can’t pardon election felon Tina Peters for state crimes, so he’s squeezing Colorado instead—moving Space Command, canceling $100 mn in grants, and vetoing a clean-water pipeline. This type of presidential coercion threatens federalism and rewards election misconduct, this CATO paper argues.

Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

The president cannot:
• Make laws
• Declare war
• Control elections
• Run the civil service like a CEO
• Ignore court orders
• Stay in office without elections
• Decide which laws apply to them
• Use the military for domestic political control
Those were king powers, and the framers rejected them.
