Before SCOTUS today is not just whether President Trump can fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. They could end the independence of independent agencies, overturn a 90-year-old precedent, and reshape the balance of power between Congress and the president.

Trump campaigned against our drug crisis & promised to crack down on the illegal flow of deadly drugs coming across the border. Latest count of those pardoned or granted clemency granted for drug-related crimes? 10. He both speaks and acts out his lies.

Ah. Another regional conflict for the sole purpose of killing young Americans while making #TheSelectandPowerfulFew even more wealthy. Now I see.

This is rich. The President who needs his National Security briefings presented in pictures (If he still even HAS those briefings,) now is charging an intellectually sharp well-read man with dereliction of duty.

Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández was sentenced to 45 years in prison for running his country as a vast “narco-state”. He IS RESPONSIBLE FOR moving at least 400 tons of cocaine into the USA, therefore Trump pardoned him. Now he is free.

Dear media and MAGA and Congress: The president has granted clemency to about 100 people accused of drug-related crimes during his time in office. I'll wait while that sinks in.

Trump focuses on immigration but is silent on North Korea, which in 2017 sought the capability to kill millions of Americans with nuclear weapons, so he told us. Today, after years of failed diplomacy, North Korea has 60 or more nuclear weapons.

The man behind Trump's Tariffs is U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. He believes we can implement tariffs and have growth at the same time. That's his story and he's sticking to it.

These events are a warning for all US Citizens. ICE does not ask if you are legal. They want to know where you were born. (Gift Article)

The Trump Administration's own government report says fentanyl is mostly transported not by boat in the Caribbean but over land across the U.S.-Mexico border. So why are we blowing Venezuelan fishing boats out of the water, and killing young men in the process?

William Baumgartner, a retired Coast Guard rear admiral. says of the craft in Venezuelan waters, “These boats do not carry fentanyl. They are carrying cocaine." And that cocaine is headed for more lucrative markets.

A kilogram of cocaine costs about $28,000 in the USA, but the same amount fetches roughly $40,000 on average in Europe and as much as $80,000 in some European countries. So why are all boats off the Venezuelan coast presumed to be enroute to the USA?

In Ukraine, we have peace plans that are not. In Gaza we have cease fire that is not. The USA could help, and increasingly, to me at least, it seems like the best help would be to stop sending incompetent negotiators.

The Department of Defense Law of War Manual states, "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.” Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are defying the Constitution and breaking the law of how the USA is to conduct war.

Who are you going to believe — your own grocery bill or the liar-in-chief?

Everybody saw the same video. It is difficult to justify what we see - which is an attack on shipwreck sailors. Tim Cotton says this was "Righteous strikes." That were "Entirely lawful." According to him, the capsized boats were filled with drugs.

The Senate power of “advice and consent” on the president’s nominees is in a state of disrepair. He wants to turn the regular work of government into an engine of personal advantage. The courts, however, are fighting back. Slowly. So Slowly.

Trump claims that a "permanent American domination of the entire world was in the best interests of our country" therefore he has conscripted the most unqualified and least able people to help him attain that goal. (That last part is my own opinion.)

The Navy is going to blame the people firing the guns at defenseless men in the ocean. They will charge the men for acting without orders. However, this was done using my tax dollars and I ask: Do seamen normally take matters into their own hands?

The men were shirtless, unarmed and carried no visible radio or other communications equipment. They also appeared to have no idea what had just hit them, or that the US military was weighing whether to finish them off. We paid our Navy to do just that.

If only we had a Pentagon that knew what it was doing. American taxpayers deserve better.

The USA is warning Europe that if certain policies don't change, "within a few decades" some NATO members would become "majority non-European" and furthermore, when that happens, America will no longer consider itself an ally. Read between those lines.

When the GOP claim Obama or Biden 'weaponized' the U.S. Department of justice to go after their political enemies, remember: Whatever they say others are doing, is what they, themselves, initiated and perfected.

Congress is focusing on two deaths in one strike. But nine other people died in that same attack, and the United States has killed 87 in all. Were any of those killings legal? This is what I want to know!

This video is damming. If true. It condemns the actions of the people who fired the shots, the people who gave the orders, the people who oversee the Pentagon and we, who fund it all.

Whenever a nation uses public dollars for this sort of thing, after full discovery and disclosure, the public often asks itself and those closest to the crimes, "How could we not know? And why did we let it go on?"

Now it starts. The search for whom to blame begins, and if history is any indicator, they will blame the persons with the lowest rank first, but public outcry will force them to keep searching.

OK but after this man leaves office and his full legacy becomes evident we are going to have to rename all those buildings and structures.

Does air pollution spread to the golf course? Asking for a friend.

What's going on in the House GOP? For starters, Elise Stefanik’s rare move to publicly accuse the speaker of being a liar. but i assume we're OK with that: their President lies incessantly and hardly anybody cares.

The report obscures key facts about climate change. It relies on outdated studies. It cherry-picks mainstream research. It revives debunked arguments just to cast doubt. That's how they do it.

OK. But what about Hillary's ema9ls, LOL.

The Trump Administration is asking for names. We did this during the McCarthy era, & Germany once asked for names of Jewish people. In this case, Federal Agencies must report to ICE the names of any non-citizens under employment, even those here legally.

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky co-sponsored legislation with Democrats that would have reined in Trump's campaign against Venezuela, but was blocked by members of his own party. Now more of them see a problem.

Members of Congress have long accused presidents from both parties of seeking to sidestep the Constitution's requirement that Congress, not the president, approve anything other than brief military action. It is time to take back this responsibility.

Hegseth has contempt for the agency he runs, like os many of Trump's cabinet.

This has to be illegal. You cannot make citizens pay taxes and refuse some of them government services based upon their zip code. /

More Republicans are showing alarm about the president's military campaign against alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean. Funny how this tends to happen when heads are about to roll. Before this, the GOP was fine with all manner of things.

By Netanyahu’s own admission, at a time when Israel faced war on four fronts, he, himself, was preoccupied by his legal predicament. Why didn't he put this nation's welfare first and step down?

Well this can't be good.

This article is misleading. The issue is not whether or not anyone posting 160 times in the course of 4 or five hours has stamina. The real question relates to his mental health.

Trump’s tariffs cause the most immediate harm to small businesses. But big businesses will end up paying the most in tariffs because of the immense volume of goods they import. Too bad trump doesn't know stuff.

Mike Johnson suffers from a sensory deprivation condition common among Republicans: He can't see or hear anything inconvenient.

Question: how does a team 'examine' scientific evidence if they do not science or understand how research is conducted? Isn't that a little like me, with no coding experience, looking for errors in the code? /

Where do they increate criminals who are convicted of international war crimes? I forget...

Killing survivors of a military strike is not just patently illegal and morally reprehensible; it is downright reckless. History shows that when America blatantly abandons the law of war, it endangers its own people all over the world. international-review.icrc.org/articles/dut...

The illegal order to shoot survivors clinging to shipwreck debris runs contrary to longstanding U.S. military doctrine and U.S. Navy Regulations governing the treatment of survivors at sea.

There's a good chance these governors would object if Biden sent in the troops. Jessica Bulman-Pozen, a constitutional law professor at Columbia U, has a term for leaders who forget about state's rights when their party is in D.C.: "partisan federalism."

Like most GOP Governors, Mr. Abbott is spineless, even when it comes to letting Trump erode his most favorite tenet.

Corporate America has a new way to fleece consumers. Rather than demand better of Congress, or stand up to Trump, some firms will now charge us for tariff fines before delivering our packages.
