An angry, impulsive or simply demented President could initiate the destruction of human life on earth with no legal constraints.

Dereliction of Duty: New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal editors continue to trivialize assaults on the First Amendment
The editorial leadership of the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal downplay and deprioritize coverage of worsening attacks on press freedom. This is a dereliction of duty.

About time.
A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Trump and Epstein were sex-predator pals for 14 years, per the evidence.
The Epstein Files show Epstein's planned defense for abusing thousands of women and kids was that they were all "prostitutes" he paid.
Know who else has a history of trying to turn sex into *prostitution*?

Your pressure stopped ICE funding increasing as planned, but it’s not over! The next days are critical to ensure that Congress stops DHS’s cruel violence against our communities by cutting funding for DHS & redirecting billions to programs that support American communities. #sheshed

If you think Republicans won't try to subvert the 2026 midterms ... you're wrong. They will do EVERYTHING they can to subvert the election. They know they are going to lose.
