Dems should be clear that post 2026 election any political prosecutions ordered by Trump will be investigated, line prosecutors called to testify, and if warranted, impeachment of AG and any other senior DOJ involved. There have to be consequences.

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

#ICYMI: Yesterday’s bonus “One First” took a deep dive into Justice Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion in the ICE raids case—and how its … casual … relationship with the facts and relevant law may be a broader indictment of how #SCOTUS is approaching *all* of the Trump-related emergency applications:
Bonus 177: A Closer Look at Justice Kavanaugh's ICE Raids Opinion
Walking through the only opinion written in support of Monday's Supreme Court stay in the ICE roving arrests case helps to highlight *how* the Court may be stacking the deck in Trump-related cases.

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops.

Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.
Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."

This would be insane ... if making us safer was his goal.
The insanity of Trump’s decisions has no bounds. He just signed a bill revoking gun checks for people with mental illnesses. Now any mentally ill person in the U.S. will be free to own a gun without checks. I’m sure this will make America “safe” again.
