America, unfortunately, has long been suffering from a crisis of civics. Put simply, many Americans are woefully ignorant about the structure and features of their government. But every so often, an opportunity emerges to reteach some basics. The media's predictable shrieks and howls of "constitutional crisis" notwithstanding, we are in the throes of a grand separation-of-powers standoff that will both serve as one such edifying civics lesson. First: Enter the energetic executive. In his frenetic opening weeks, President Donald Trump has channeled the spirit of The Federalist No. 70, in which Alexander Hamilton argued that only a unitary executive can...

In the weeks since President Trump took office, federal judges have arrogated to themselves the authority to control how the government spends money, whether the government can issue orders to government personnel and even the content displayed on government websites... A president with no initiative or independent thinking is a mere administrator, not a leader. If his decisions follow precedent, law and existing policy alone, he ceases to represent the people.

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 This is insane. Judge Royce Lamberth (Reagan) who had no qualms throwing grandmas into federal prison for minor offenses over Jan 6, entered a preliminary injunction preventing the enforcement of Pres Trump's exec order related to transgender federal inmates. Lamberth found the exec order violated the 8th Amendment rights of the anonymous criminals who are now taking hormone replacement therapy and other procedures on the taxpayer dime. The names, convictions, disciplinary record, etc of the plaintiffs are all under seal. 9:13 AM · Feb 19, 2025
