Picture, for a moment, a Democratic U.S. president siding with Russia over Ukraine, freezing billions in funds already approved by Congress, punishing the press to compel speech, and sending a group of 19- to 24-year-olds who are not government employees on a wilding spree through the federal workforce, where they gain access to sensitive Social Security and IRS data while indiscriminately slashing thousands of jobs. Now picture the reaction of U.S. Sens.
