ICE is writing secret memos claiming power to invade homes without warrants. They're using children as bait. They're killing.

During his press conference on Jan. 20th President Trump spoke about the ICE killing of Renee Good for a little over one minute. During his remarks he mentioned himself five times but never said Good's name. I've included a countdown on the screen for emphasis.

Section 1250A of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, a law that passed with broad bipartisan support, explicitly prohibits Trump for suspending or terminating US participation in NATO. Nor can he denounce NATO. Nor can he withdraw from it.

If it were up to me, geriatric would-be invaders of Greenland would be sent out on an ice floe or maybe just rethink their life goals from an extended meditation retreat period atop the ice sheet. Perhaps a polar bear could discuss arctic life with him too?

I don't think that most of us need an inquiry to tell us about Trump's mental competency. But go ahead; I know Congress likes to hear itself talk.
