But under Trump, there is no domestic or foreign policy because it is all thoughtless. It is not even improvised. It is just Trump’s ego — as interpreted by the toadies around him (Miller, Vought, Vance, Kennedy, Rubio, Noem) trying to guess what

Who Stops a Madman When No One Is Willing To By Tony Pentimalli The most dangerous question facing the United States is no longer what Donald Trump intends to do, but whether any institution still has the capacity or courage to stop him.

After January 6, membership in groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers collapsed. Not ideologically — structurally (Proud Boys recruitment was down 80%. Oath Keepers? Around 85%).

Trump is haunted by the fact that 69 of Richard Nixon’s closest associates (including 2 Cabinet members) were indicted for going along with his lawlessness, 48 were convicted, and 40 went to prison including his Attorney

One thing that belongs here, up front, is this: across 23,000 words, the interview sketches a presidency defined not by what is illegal, but by what can be done before anyone can stop it. This manifests is many different ways, across many different topics.

There are moments in history when a nation resembles a drawing room after a long dinner-voices raised…tempers frayed…alliances half-hidden behind polite smiles. Nothing has yet shattered. No plates have been thrown.

So there’s this security guard who protected Maduro, and he just did an interview describing what I can only call a directed nightmare. “It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly, I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.

The surveillance state is being powered by companies you pay every month. Comcast and AT&T are providing the internet and network infrastructure that allows ICE to track migrants.

We are sliding into historic territory. You may want to sit down while you read this, because what I am about to tell you is the complete truth. It is not exaggerated. I am, in fact, calm as I write this.

The legal argument is grounded in the Tenth Amendment and the principle of state sovereignty. Ellison argues that the federal government is commandeering state resources and interfering with the state's ability to police itself.

End-stage power doesn’t negotiate, Y’all. It loots. Fixating on Trump’s body is such a trap. It tempts us to argue about mortality instead of momentum. Just look at what just happened in Venezuela. While people debated optics and health, imperial appetite stayed right on schedule.

We must reserve our harshest condemnation for the political opposition, specifically the 75 Democrats who voted to "express gratitude" to ICE just months ago. These representatives aren't just guilty of a bad vote in the past;

I support the protests. I want to say this out loud. I support them. If you support the protests, you should tell everyone you know that you support them.

So, what do you do when the banging starts? Do not open the door. I cannot stress this enough. Do not crack it open to "see what they want." Do not step outside to talk. Once that door is open, you have given up your strongest legal protection.

Anyone with a conscience is rightly outraged at ICE’s cold blooded murder of Renee Good last week in Minneapolis. Since doing so, ICE in Minnesota has also arrested four members of Oglala Sioux Tribe. Yes—ICE is targeting Indigenous Americans for apparently violating our immigration laws.

The promise of $2.00/gallon gas is another classic illusion. Global oil markets are complex beasts determined by supply, demand, and geopolitics. To force the price down to 1990s levels, the government would have to engage in massive subsidies or draconian market manipulation.

The New York Times this weekend provocatively declared that Donald Trump’s appointees to federal courts of appeals are “clearing the way for his policies and gradually eroding a perception early last year that the legal system was thwarting his efforts to amass presidential power.” That is wrong.

Kelly’s team asserts that the DoD is misusing federal statutes to reopen a final retirement determination based solely on post-retirement political speech. This is the crux of the "chilling effect."

Minnesota and its two largest cities have filed a sweeping federal lawsuit seeking to halt or sharply limit a large-scale immigration enforcement operation conducted by the Department of Homeland Security in the Twin Cities.

Then there is the legal quagmire. On Saturday, President Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency to "protect" Venezuelan oil revenue held in U.S. accounts. In plain English,

Either way, legitimacy comes from asking the questions in the first place. This time, the questions were never asked. Instead, leadership in the Civil Rights Division declined to investigate. No findings. No review. No explanation.

Then there is the denial. In a brief interview with NBC News, President Trump insisted he "didn't know" about the investigation. When asked if this was pressure tactics, he replied, "No. I wouldn’t even think of doing it that way." It is a quote that belongs in the Hall of Fame of gaslighting.

Not because laws disappear overnight. Not because courts immediately collapse. But because language changes first…and institutions quietly begin behaving as if the verdict has already been rendered.

Corporate America will face an extinction event. U.S. companies will be expelled from the European market. Apple, Google, McDonald's, and Tesla will see their assets seized or their operations banned. Trillions of dollars i

Trump could just as well arrest and expel permanent residents who voice support for, say, transgender people or DEI or “woke” or anything else the regime finds “anti-American” and offensive.

This performative resistance highlights the trap the Democrats have set for themselves. By failing to hold the line on funding and rhetoric when they had the chance,

This article is for general informational purposes only and does not provide legal advice or create an attorney client relationship. You are walking down the sidewalk when a vehicle slows beside you and an ICE agent looks over and asks a question that sounds simple and feels anything but.

This vote exposes the isolation of the President's new reality. He can command the executive branch. He can purge the military. He can weaponize the Department of Justice. But he cannot force the legislative branch to participate in his delusion.

May I say, by the way, that every investor and businessperson who backed Trump or tried to accommodate him once he won should be looking in the mirror and asking why they helped enable this catastrophe. For none of what Trump is doing now is a surprise to people who paid attention.

The myth that these districts are "too red" to touch is just that…a myth. When you actually put a human being on the ballot…someone who is a neighbor, a teacher, a small business owner…the partisan blinders often fall away.

Since the beginning of the campaign, at least 123 people have been killed in 35 attacks on boats. Many experts consider these operations unlawful regardless of the camouflage issue. Civilians may not be killed merely because they are suspected of committing crimes.

The smoking gun appears in November 2025. This is the moment the freedom rhetoric dies and the profit motive is born. A U.S. court ordered Citgo Petroleum, the crown jewel of Venezuela's assets, to be sold to pay creditors. And who was the buyer?

Take a good look at the slogan on the podium that Kristi Noem used to defend ICE and the Trump regime's reign of terror. It reads: "One of Ours, All of Yours."

The visual evidence of her alienation is undeniable. When the White House released the War Room photos of the operation, the modern equivalent of the Situation Room shot from the bin Laden raid, Gabbard was nowhere to be seen.

This is Juan Carlos. Two days after the brutal murder of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent on January 7th in Minneapolis, Juan was ripped out of his car, beaten and shackled by masked ICE agents in the same city.

The demands attached to this freeze are designed to be impossible to meet without crippling the state's ability to function. The USDA is demanding "payment justifications for all federal dollar expenditures from January 20, 2025, to the present" within 30 days.

According to the city, the opposite is true. Rubio Bohorquez had never been arrested, had provided written assurance that he had no criminal record, and had retained a lawyer. He was not someone who disappeared, but part of public life –

The fact that this happened in front of his aunt adds a layer of generational trauma that is impossible to ignore. For Native communities, the sight of federal agents taking young men away isn't a new headline; it is an old ghost.

That is precisely why we are pursuing multiple paths at once. The International Criminal Court examines individual responsibility. The inter-American human rights system examines state liability for extraterritorial conduct and civilian victims.

This is why Steny Hoyer is leaving. He knows the game has changed. The Founders' goals he spoke of are incompatible with a government that shoots couples outside hospitals and declares war on its neighbors.

In the wake of an ICE officer’s killing of Renee Good, the Department of Homeland Security is rolling out “Operation Metro Surge,” flooding Minneapolis with hundreds of additional federal agents — only to realize it doesn’t actually have the confidence to match the bravado.

If you want to understand the hollowness of the modern Republican legal philosophy, you only need to look at two things: the laws they passed to protect drivers who run over protesters, and the excuse they are using to justify the murder of Renee Good.

“Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out. 🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

"ICE is violence-prone because its main purpose has become theatrical. Under present leadership, ICE is less a law-enforcement agency than it is a content creator. from David Frum: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Watch the footage closely if you have the stomach for it. It reveals that the "danger" the agent faced was a danger he created. He stepped into the path. He drew his weapon on a citizen who was effectively trapped. In law enforcement

Leased Power: Why MAGA Never Believed Anything at All By Tony Pentimalli America First was never a governing principle. It was a dominance signal. Once you see that, MAGA’s contradictions stop looking confusing and start looking inevitable.
