No better way to signal intent to give illegal orders than to blow up at the lawful suggestion to not follow illegal orders.

While ICE is sooo busy kidnapping immigrants for daring to cross the border, the US military managed to do the same & briefly invaded Mexico.

I worry that if Putin prevails in Ukraine, our NATO allies could be tested next. That risks dragging us into a far bigger conflict. From my recent conversation on Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.

Even the text of the alleged "peace agreement" between Russia and Ukraine being touted by the Trump administration betrays its Kremlin origins. They were in such a such a rush they didn't even have it properly translated.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

Also at the end of Trump’s first term, the DOJ preemptively ended Pollard’s parole years early, thereby enabling him to leave the US.

Pollard fled to Israel on the private jet of the Trump megadonor Adelson family. Upon arrival, he was greeted by Netanyahu on the tarmac.

Andrew Jones’ death is one among a string of jailhouse fatalities that have been linked to allegations of abusive jail conditions that haven’t been reported to the federal government.

Ten years earlier, at the same jail, Albert Graham died from heart problems.
