“The Trump administration has done a lot of things that many people find alarming, from shipping non-citizens to a Salvadoran prison to hiking tariffs to bombing Iran’s nuclear sites to killing funding for vaccine research to deploying the military in American cities to … well, it’s a long list, and I don’t need to rehash it. … This is sometimes described as a ‘constitutional crisis,’ but I think that’s a misnomer.
