“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

“American Reich,” focuses on the 2018 murder of gay Jewish teenager Blaze Bernstein as a lens to examine Orange County and how the hate-driven murder at the hands of a former classmate connects to a national web of white supremacy and terrorism. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

President Trump’s rambling, combative address to the UN General Assembly in September did more than unsettle diplomats. It has reignited debate over his fitness for office & whether the US Constitution’s rarely invoked 25th Amendment could be used to remove a sitting president. #legal

American taxpayers primarily working class Americans are paying for Trump/GOP’s forever wars to benefit a handful of billionaires! Americans’ costs continue skyrocketing & Trump/GOP eliminate health care subsidies! Trump/GOP’s foreign entanglements & bad agenda strain & drain Americans’ pocketbooks!

Sen. Kelly responds: "If Pete Hegseth ... thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide…

80 people were killed by Trump’s warped idea of peace on earth and by invading a sovereign nation. An additional 115 people were killed on extrajudicial killings on the high seas (Caribbean & Pacific) by late 2025, with 11 of those vessels in the Caribbean.

I have noticed something odd coming from the Right recently — a change in vocabulary. They are using the word “hemisphere” rather than America. They went from “Make America Great Again” to speaking about the Americas and the Western Hemisphere. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

By treating sovereign borders and international law as optional, the Trump regime embraces the worldview that fueled Hitler, fortified oligarchs, and now threatens the American Experiment… hartmannreport.com/p/trump-didn...

Maduro Capture Operation & the President’s Duty to Faithfully Execute U.N. Charter. In the operation to abduct Maduro, the Trump admin reportedly relied on a highly controversial 1989 legal memorandum claiming the President does not need to abide by the U.N. Charter as a matter of domestic law.

Never thought the day would come when I would agree with MTG...But here we are

You good with random mothers being pulled out of their cars & friggin kidnapped? That's what's happening in this country & we're not doing enough to stop it. Why aren't GOVERNORS sending out forces to end #ICELawlessness or at least follow #ICE thugs & make them comply with the law? Call them!

Since ‘51, UCMJ targeted retirees just 35 times for felonies like Fat Leonard.Trump's "Department of War" weaponizes it against Sen. Kelly for restating military law? NIMJ confirmed his speech wasn't illegal. Pentagon to cut Sen. Mark Kelly's military retirement pay over 'seditious' video:Hegseth

John McCain is rolling over in his grave right now.

Trump has declared himself the new leader of Venezuela: Donaldo Juan Trumpchez 🤡

This news from April Ryan pisses me the F off‼️ We have 435 voting members of the House and 100 members of the Senate, and what? They can’t walk and chew gum? Meanwhile, our insurance premiums are skyrocketing, and we’re supposed to just continue to be patient? Unbelievable.

This new war in Venezuela is deeply corrupt. I will never vote to send someone’s son or daughter to war to make oil executives richer.

When the Democrats made that video a few weeks ago reminding the military that they can disobey an unlawful order, this is what they were referring to. They knew Trump was going to invade Venezuela. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

He’s going to do this if no one stops him.

The children of Melissa and Mark Hortman have released a statement asking Trump to remove a post that spread disinformation about their parents:

Yeah. A definite side benefit of investing in wind and solar would be not having to literally conquer another country to steal their oil.

We need more passion and conviction in politics. 🇺🇸

NEWS: A source confirms DOJ has NOT provided Congress the legally required explanation for redactions in the Epstein file releases, despite a Jan. 3 statutory deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Trump wouldn’t have a problem with Venezuela’s drug cartel if it weren’t for this chart. “It’s a law enforcement operation,” is just a sorry excuse that no one is buying.
