The federal government is completely controlled by Trump. The Supreme Court is dominated by his appointees and fascists. Both parts of Congress are controlled by MAGA. Nothing can be done at the moment. We must turn out the vote this year or things will only get worse.

Wait…I don’t think that’s even the correct statute 😅 § 1370 applies to Generals and Admirals, not an O-6 like Kelly. So…yah, good luck Kegsbreth!

Per WASH POST, Stephen Miller will play an “elevated role” in Venezuela (what could go wrong!) and Machado won’t be president because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize Trump wants (yes, seriously)

Couldn’t make it up if we tried

NEW: Source familiar with the Epstein files release tells me that Congress has yet to receive the Justice Department’s explanation for the Epstein files redactions.

This is another violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Freedom and liberty are protected by the rule of law. Without things like due process, freedom & liberty become privileges, not rights.
I believe everyone deserves these self evident things, not just rich white people who can pay the tribute.
So, no, I won't be defending it like Donald Trump.
Kristi Noem: "This is a time when our country really will find out who loves America, who wants the freedoms and liberties that our country represents, and how they're willing to stand up and defend it like President Trump is."

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?

Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Jack Smith: “Our case was built on, frankly, Republicans who put their allegiance to the country before the party.”

Trump also had a “pattern” of rejecting information that didn’t fit his false narrative.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."
