White House Lawbreaking is On The Rise
It has been apparent, in the first few weeks that Trump has been testing the waters to test the limits of what he can get away with. With no enforcement in sight, there is little to stop him.

In the last 72 hours, President Trump’s lawlessness has substantially escalated. In a rambling tweet, he insisted his predecessor’s pardons of January 6 committee members are null and void, and said those officials are now fully subject to criminal investigation. Meanwhile, the Trump administration appears to have violated a court order in deporting some Venezuelans. And on top of all that, Trump’s borders czar flatly declared that they’ll ignore what judges say in carrying out future deportations. At the White House press briefing Monday, Karoline Leavitt spun madly about all this but was unable to say with real clarity what the White House’s stances really are. We think this is key because Trump appears on the precipice of a new level of lawbreaking, and the White House is constructing its fake rationales for all of it in real time.
