Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.

That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

Putin, Netanyahu and Trump competing for title of most despicable. And Trump cowing to both war criminals as he randomly blows up people and boats near Venezuela. They all belong in prison. The sooner the better.
60 Minutes today is timely.
Watch. Call your reps and tell them to take action to hold Russia responsible for their continuing war crimes.

The "peace president" threatens to execute people who object to his war crimes.
The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.

The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

There is no normal, functioning, democracy where this would ever happen without firing those agents or dissolving the agency entirely.
In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.

All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

NEW: After ProPublica reported that the White House intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate, two senators say the behavior “raises grave questions regarding the independence and impartiality of federal law enforcement operations.

Senators Launch Inquiry After a White House Official Intervened on Behalf of Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
In letters to the White House and DHS, Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Gary Peters called the intervention a “brazen interference with a federal investigation.”

How many times has this administration interceded in child sex trafficking cases to protect pedophiles? And why? Are they helping currently operating trafficking rings? Can you believe we must ask this question?
In case you missed it:

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Andrew Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Trump’s reference to “military courts” and the SECDEF “looking into it” is alarming because he is broadly hinting at subjecting members of Congress to military tribunals — something with no legal basis — and even floating that idea is an unmistakable authoritarian signal

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

So, it turns out the party that claimed it was so concerned about election security has pretty much zero concern and added CISA to the list of agencies to effectively left to rot.
