The blizzard of executive orders signed in the Oval Office is a smokescreen for a ticking timebomb: Accusing his own former official of treason.

Framing violations of laws and rights as necessary for “national security” reasons is a go-to tactic for authoritarian regimes.

The ghosts of many past administrations’ debacles—Watergate, Iran-Contra and more—are haunting the White House right now.

It sounds kooky and absurd but this weird fixation has a very sinister undertone.

A person’s immigration status does not affect their free speech rights.

Trump’s “shock and awe” blitzkrieg of executive orders meant to expand presidential power has run directly into a steel curtain of lawsuits brought by civil rights groups, state attorney generals and federal employee unions. What’s next?

As justification for infringing upon Congressional powers, Trump has claimed that “for 200 years... it was undisputed that the President had the Constitutional power to stop unnecessary spending.”

Don’t be fooled. Just because his plan is legally doomed doesn’t mean there’s nothing in it for Trump.

What a tangled legal mess was weaved around the president-elect.

Next, Biden should pardon those like Jack Smith who Trump might target when in office. There may also be purpose in pardoning Trump himself, and the many enablers of Trump’s schemes.
