"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

When Trump says it won’t end up costing the United States to illegally invade and “control” Venezuela because of the value of their oil, he means there will be a massive public cost, but that’s ok because private companies and oligarchs, including his family, will make a ton of money.
People wondering whether the US is going to be able to "run the country" of Venezuela at "no cost" might like to remind themselves it's a place one-third *larger* than Afghanistan, the running of which cost the US $2,260,000,000,000. (That's $2.26 trillion).

Just because you can make an analogy doesn’t mean it’s a good one…
Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

“Irony” isn’t nearly a strong enough word
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Trump is now going after Jack Smith.
You know who seems safe from his retribution: Merrick Garland. Because he did JACK SHIT. Trump not being pissed at him is, low key, an indictment of his entire tenure.

If average HealthCare.gov plan premiums double in a few months due to Republican inaction, 4 million people will lose health insurance.
Without health coverage, many will get sicker or skip care entirely.
So much for “Make America Healthy Again.”

Trump doesn’t get to “determine” we’re at war—that’s Congress’s job. Check the Constitution, Art. 1, Sec 8, Clause 11.
And while he’s talking tough out of one side of his mouth, he’s disbanding the DOJ task force fighting cartels with the other.
This isn’t about public safety. It’s a power grab.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

I still do not think this is going to happen. But in the unlikely scenario that it does, I am in complete agreement with Courtney here.
There is no measured way to say what I am about to say.
If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court.
I do not say this lightly.
