Van Hollen is, curiously, one of very few electeds acting the way the founders envisioned—using the opportunity of one of the branches overreaching to further his own career. It’s a good thing, but passing strange we don’t see more of it.
Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Back in 2020, Trump fired 5 inspectors general over the course of two months.
At the time, @amandacarpenter.bsky.social wrote in The Bulwark, "had Trump fired all of the inspectors general in a single night, it might have aroused more outrage."
Now comes news he fired 17 all at once tonight—
