I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Trump just watches something on Fox then rage posts a new edict in response on Truth Social five minutes later without talking to anyone, then his babysitters try to explain to him that the Fox segment was wrong or his solution is insane, then he goes back to his ballroom work.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

I'm not really one for nostalgia but in the old days a crank like RFK would have started a cult - and probably hurt only his own followers.
We have the misfortune of living at a time when a cult elects a government (one full of cranks, con artists, and quacks) that will harm all of us.

I think this rah-rah stuff can be fun popcorn reading, but misses the bigger point spelling out the inevitable demise of the internal combustion engine & ensuring oil demand collapse.

EVs Will Decimate Big Oil. Even Without U.S. Tax Credits.
Electric vehicles are already displacing millions of barrels of oil per day globally. Oil demand is expected to fall spectacularly over the next decade.
