Robert J. Berger<p>"The Republican Party is a hollow, decrepit husk. It is not a political movement. It is not a governing apparatus. It is not even an ideology with any internal coherence. It is a decaying vessel for a set of impulses: authoritarianism, greed, cruelty, nostalgia, and fear. And now, with the party marching in lockstep behind a man openly exploring how to violate the Constitution to seize a third term in office, it is fair to say the Republican Party has collapsed into something far worse than irrelevance. It is a clear and present danger to democracy."</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.theindex.media/the-gop-is-the-most-dangerous-organization-in-america/?ref=dispatches-newsletter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theindex.media/the-gop-is-the-</span><span class="invisible">most-dangerous-organization-in-america/?ref=dispatches-newsletter</span></a></p>

Flipboard News Desk<p>In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has thrown out the order of District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked removal of Venezuelans to El Salvador without legal process under the Alien Enemies Act.
