His grip on power is entirely dependent on a complicit Congress and the US Supreme Court. If that wasn't the case, he would have been jettisoned overboard 10 years ago.

Do y’all realize that if:
Every public building in D.C. was renamed the “Trump so and so”;
If every corporation put Trump on its Board;
If every citizen swore fealty to Trump;
If every foreign leader brought him gold;
If the U.S. was renamed the U.S. of Trump;
It still would not be enough.

"Shadow President" is exactly what Miller's role is in this administration. All of this has his fingerprints all over it
Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

"We are asking the Department of War to deploy to our cities" should be a statement that ends any Governor's political career.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry: "Tonight, we're sending the Department of War a request to send the National Guard, asking them to deploy the National Guard here in Louisiana into our cities like New Orleans and Baton Rogue and others."

Just a reminder that the Commander-in-Chief of the Louisiana National Guard, who can call them out all by himself if they were actually needed, is … Governor Landry.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

It's the fabricating that worries me most. If they can fabricate danger and then, with AI, fabricate "evidence," where will that leave us?
“This combination of pushing fake dangers and ignoring real threats demands each of us to keep clear about which is which.
That means speaking out when the Trump regime tries to persuade the public that there’s an emergency when there is none.”
