"Never mind the bogus notion that Trump has any sense of morality. We’re dealing with a narcissistic sociopath who’s driven by vengeance and whim—an insecure man who’s fueled by racism and hate, a desperate need to appear strong, and an insatiable desire for money and power."

"For Trump, ICE’s violent lawlessness is a feature, not a bug. Sending armed, masked, poorly trained, masked and out-of-control armed thugs into blue cities is, in effect, a war on Americans, just as January 6th was a war on American institutions. In effect, Trump would rather savage his own people than be held accountable for his actions."

"The operation was conducted without an Authorization for Use of Military Force, despite months of visible military preparations that prompted repeated calls for legislative oversight. Secretary of State Rubio has argued that congressional involvement risked operational leaks. That justification is thin."

"We suspect Mr. Trump has refused to seek congressional approval for his actions partly because he knows that even some Republicans in Congress are deeply skeptical of the direction in which he is leading this country."
