What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is. On the boat bombings, for instance, evidence is extensive. Here's a look at it: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

“I meant to say Mike Pence should locked up, not hanged” www.politico.com/news/2022/05...

The Kimmel idea of America taking out a restraining order against the president might make sense as well for members of Congress and his former vice president he threatened to hang. Maybe Venezuelan fishermen could sign on, too. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/21/a...

Boy, do Dems and Rs have a bunch of easy wins after Trump: -Make the swastika a hate symbol again in the Coast Guard -Stop ICE raids on churches and schools -Get the National Guard out of cities -Restore free IRS help and airline refunds on canceled flights -Tighten NATO ties, welcome Canadians.

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man. We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

Still imagining a world where a president could threaten six members of Congress with death and people go la de da -- and routinely ask the victims, "How do you react?" It "unfortunately proves our point," says one. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/20/m...

One of the six members of the U.S. Congress threatened with death by the president today said simply that Trump's violent and extrajudicial reaction "unfortunately proves our point.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/20/m...

Geez Louise, what's the deal with this guy and wanting to hang people? www.politico.com/news/2022/05...

The thing is, they lie. Over and over and over again. I don't think there's been a single incident in Chicago where their initial account proved out. Reporters should simply *not* be reporting what they say as fact, ever.

I've known Catherine Lucey for 26 years, since I covered the 1999 mayor's race for the PDN and she covered it for Penn's student paper. She is, quite, simply, the best in the business, who also got under Trump's skin in his first term. Trump is the real pig here www.inquirer.com/politics/tru...

“A recent report from the Defense Intelligence Agency, part of the Pentagon, raised concerns that China would be able to access F-35 technology if the United States were to finalize a deal to sell Saudi Arabia the warplanes, as Riyadh and Beijing have a security partnership.” - NYT

What a day for this bombshell about the Trump administration intervening in a sex offender’s case. The intervenor was the dude with a “Nazi streak,” who had been the sex offender’s lawyer.
