“These days, I find myself wondering what it would take for congressional Republicans to recognize and resist Trump’s dictatorial ambitions to be an unaccountable king. Would he have to wear an actual crown in the White House rose garden he is paving over? Install a throne in the flying palace he procured from the Qataris? I wonder what it would take to stop hearing from pundits that we’re overreacting to Trump and his happy-birthday-to-me military parade — the same week he deployed the National Guard and U.S. Marines against Americans on American soil — in a confrontation manufactured by his administration’s assault on peaceful, law-abiding immigrants. … Polls suggest, and the nationwide No Kings protests affirm, that the American people are more willing to resist Trump’s desire to rule like a king than many elected leaders who swore an oath to protect the Constitution.” (06/16/25)
