Donald Trump presents himself as strong, indomitable, and always forceful.
But when disaster strikes — whether hurricane, flash flood, or pandemic — he’s oddly helpless.
To hear Trump tell it, he has infinite power to do good and no power to do bad
-- and anyone who says otherwise is an enemy of the country.
To believe in MAGA is to believe in his simultaneous omnipotence and impotence, depending on whichever is convenient for partisan purposes.
This dynamic h…

The president did say that under the new order of things in Washington,
the police will be “allowed to do whatever the hell they want”

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla on Thursday was handcuffed by officers and forcefully removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s news conference in Los Angeles
as he tried to speak up about immigration raids that have led to protests in California and around the country.
Video shows a Secret Service agent on Noem’s security detail grabbing the California senator by his jacket and shoving him from the room
as he tried to speak up during the DHS secretary’s event.
