How about “Trump Threatens to Ignore Constitution, Pursue Illegal Third Term”? That headline might be more accurate.
Fuck this. This plan, this media framing of the plan, all of it. Really.

The Rep. from TX is not wrong.

So, that’s actually not allowed…The Constitution isn’t optional, sir. This isn’t a reality show — it’s reality. Two terms, that’s it.

Trump is 'not joking' about third term, though Constitution says he can't serve
In remarks to NBC News, Trump also said "there are methods which you could do it." Trump would need either a two-thirds vote in Congress or a constitutional convention to serve a third term.

Is this the same guy who was complaining about Joe Biden using an autopen and not knowing what he was signing when he was president just a few days ago?

Clement tells judge that he has the power to do additional evidentiary investigation, but strongly suggests he dismiss the case with prejudice and leave it at that. Separation of powers, principles and public confidence in justice system support rejecting the “without prejudice“ condition from gov.

Management of the Army’s X account clearly changed around 2 PM ET on Friday. For the last month, content was standard fare. But a series of posts made clear someone new was managing the account.
It began with the renaming of Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg. Bizarrely, Elon Musk was tagged directly. 🧵

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.
Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .
Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?
Thoughts ?

Remember — Tulsi Gabbard was on a TSA watch list because of suspicious foreign travel, including to Syria and Russia.
Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for suspicious foreign travel.

Starting an avoidable trade war is not strength. It’s weakness.
