Is there not any part of the Federal government or any person in the country that can stop Trump and this administration from invading Cuba and Greenland?

You won't get an alert on your phone when a full-blown dictatorship arrives. It happens in steps. The traitor sends a mob to sack the Capitol, gets away with it, calls for "termination" of the Constitution, lies to get re-elected and unleashes a thug army on cities. Get active before it's too late.

If Renee Good had had one iota of interest in driving into her ICE killer, she would have done so while he was pointing a camera in her face in front of her SUV instead of waiting until he had pulled out his gun to the side of her. Even then, she backed up & turned the steering wheel away from him.

I know that it's hard to keep track of all the ways Trump violates the law.
In Connecticut, he illegally cancelled an offshore wind project that is 80% built, citing imaginary "national security justifications" that they refuse to brief us on because...THEY DON'T EXIST.

Melania is a pig like her husband. She was a hooker in Europe. She lied to the American people by claiming she had a degree from a university in Europe. She doesn’t even live in the White House. She lives in Trump tower. Jeff Bezos made this ridiculous farce of a movie to bribe the criminal Trump.

A lot of people avoid politics because it’s overwhelming and they don’t want to be hopelessly depressed. So they check out and then check back in when it’s time for a presidential election. This is how we got to where we are now. We won’t get out of it until this changes.

There's that Trump business genius on display again. Kidnap a president, make it easy to steal a country's resources, and forget to check ahead of time whether anyone's willing to actually pump the sludge out of the ground. This is a bankrupt-a-casino level of stupid.

Abbott doesn't care about "state sovereignty." All he cares about is more power for himself. He thinks he'll get it by being loyal to Trxmp, but he doesn't yet see that such loyalty only goes one way. Trxmp only takes; he never gives back.
Greg Abbott has bent his views on state sovereignty to accede to the wishes of Trump.
Texas recently joined dozens of states in turning over voter roll information to the DOJ, despite long-standing resistance to federal oversight of state elections.
