Donald Trump may be running out of aircraft carriers.

The Department of Justice has announced that they will be arresting Don Lemon and open investigations into the storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lemon will reportedly be arrested by the Trump administration under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act. "The Klan Act is one of the most important federal civil rights statutes," said Civil Rights Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon on The Benny Johnson Show. It's a law that makes it illegal to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens. Whenever people conspire this, the Klan Act can be used." "Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen in that facility," Dhillon continued. "He went into the facility, and then he began, quote-unquote, committing journalism, as if that is some sort of shield from being a part—an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy." Dhillon then confirmed that her office would begin launching investigations i…

President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to send federal military forces to Minneapolis in response to protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions in the city. We'll explain what the law says about the president's authority to do so. Trump cited the act in a Jan. 15 social media post, eight days after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during a protest confrontation. The shooting sparked more protests in Minneapolis and the Trump administration's deployment of hundreds more immigration officers to join 2,000 Department of Homeland Security agents sent to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area as of early this month, according to DHS. The department has called it "Operation Metro Surge."

Frigid January weather prompted Donald Trump's second inauguration to be held in the rotunda of the US Capitol, an iconic room ringed by busts of former presidents that lies at the heart of Congress. Almost immediately after departing the Capitol, Trump took aim at the legislative branch, moving to siphon from lawmakers the powers to control spending, agencies and declaring war, and take them for himself, experts say. "What we have seen over the past year represents a real escalation by the executive branch of its intrusion into things that are historically powers of Congress," said Molly Reynolds, the director of governance studies at the non-partisan Brookings Institution.

How did the Western Alliance come to a crisis over Greenland, of all places — and, more important, how can it end productively? President Donald Trump has learned perhaps too well that Europe's political elites — the current governments in Britian and France, the dominate forces in the European Union and the left-leaning establishments across the continent — won't do a damned thing when it comes to hard power unless their noses are rubbed in the need. It took him nearly a decade of threatening to abandon NATO to get most member nations to start ponying up for defense at anything like needed levels. It took Russia's invasion of Ukraine to make them even think of reconsidering their Moscow-dependent (and economically suicidal) energy policies — don't forget how the Germans literally laughed off Trump's 2018 UN warning of the utter foolishness of becoming "totally dependent on Russian energy."

President Trump's slumping job approval numbers and the public controversies swirling around his second term in office are putting a strain on his relationship with GOP senators, who are looking for ways to distance themselves from the president heading into the November midterms. Republican lawmakers are pushing back on Trump and his administration on a dizzying range of issues, including the potential deployment of troops to Venezuela, the threat to seize Greenland, the criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, invoking the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis and capping credit card fees.

When President Trump vowed a "tide of change" in his inaugural address last year, he was not exaggerating. One year in, those changes are everywhere, often turbulent and polarizing, manifestations of the sharp right turn that Mr. Trump promised for the country and the world. The president has declared that his power is constrained only by his "own morality." That sentiment has made itself felt in the aggressive immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and other cities, which has led to one death. The Times found evidence of change in all 50 states, no place left untouched. This is by no means a complete list.
