Are we beginning to see how damaging allowing Russian* agents and assets to infiltrate Western governments and institutions can be?
Or are we still confident that our institutions will retain their integrity without active countermeasures being taken?

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Another day another episode of News Agents where they totally avoid any suggestion that Trump is a compromised Russian asset.
“We just find his actions totally unexplainable”
They’re not unexplainable. He works for Putin.

If anyone has any doubt that Trump is a Russian agent and accomplice, all those doubts should be erased by the way he is siding with Russia and against Ukraine. The same applies to the GOP, they have been pro-authoritarian and pro-Russia for a long time. The GOP must be not defeated, but destroyed!

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So
As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Our current so-called “president” shouldn’t have to worry about senators & others in Congress reminding our military not to follow illegal orders unless he was about to give illegal orders to them! Trump‘s accusation of sedition against these 6 Democrats is laughable, like his regime!

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."
