In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.

If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

Reading the deposition he gave in Chicago you can understand why it is that Judge Ellis tore into him.

The first substantive question is "What is your role in Operation Midway Blitz?" Bovino essentially gives his title and no further details. 8 pages later, the lawyer gives up.

A DOD "Memo" saying no prosecution will happen isn't going to save you from life in a military prison for murdering civilian fisherman. Taking orders from a Fox News host who ordered you to do it isn't going to look real good to a jury.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Pres. Trump’s attacks on six lawmakers are an attempt to rebrand dissent as “sedition.” The Constitution’s framers inserted the word “only” into its treason clause for a reason, Yale law scholar Akhil Amar argues. They wanted to make it very hard for presidents to turn dissent into a crime. #Velshi
Treason by any other name: Trump’s ‘sedition’ spin
The FBI has opened an inquiry into six Democratic lawmakers who released a video calling on service members to refuse illegal orders. Yale law scholar Akhil Amar says Trump’s response reflects what the Constitution’s framers feared most, a president twisting dissent into a crime by sidestepping the document’s narrow definition of treason.

As Bovino and masked DHS officers sweep another Home Depot looking to round up day laborers, a reminder of the meeting in May when Stephen Miller screamed at ICE to stop doing targeted enforcement, start hitting Home Depots and 7/11s and “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”
Even with the high-profile arrests of suspects by masked immigration agents and the plane loads of migrants swiftly ferried out of the U.S., President Trump was falling short of the number of daily deportations carried out by the Biden administration in its final year. So in late May, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide and the architect of the president's immigration agenda, addressed a meeting at the headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The message was clear: The president, who promised to deport millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, wasn't pleased. The agency had better step it up. Gang members and violent criminals, what Trump called the "worst of the worst," weren't the sole target of deportations. Federal agents needed to "just go out there and arrest illegal aliens," Miller told top ICE officials, who had come from across the U.S., according to people familiar with the meeting. Agents didn't need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away. "Who here thinks they can do it?" Miller said, asking for a show of hands.
