I am not seeing coverage about this act of war as illegal. This should be the frame on every serious news show.

Someone in the Trump administration must have read the US Constition as they are systematically defying it
Congress can either defend its war power—or hand it to Trump. Venezuela won’t be the last case.

Minnesota vs. ICE is becoming a constitutional flashpoint. If a federal agent kills a civilian, can a state prosecute—even if the feds try to block it? @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I break down the legal shields, the limits, and what accountability can look like.

Yes absolutely. I hope that’s what will gappen. I posted about that earlier and will discuss on the pod.

There will be no immediate federal prosecution of the ice murderer. But the statute of limitations on murder is forever. That is long enough to ensure justice in case local prosecutors fail to convict it indict.

The VP is either outright lying or completely misinformed when he said ICE agents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution.

He's either lying or completely misinformed.
VP Shady Vance said today that Jonathan Ross has complete immunity. Why would the VP of the USA have such an incredibly bad understanding of the Constitution and the rule of law?
