Again: Trump never cared about drugs. Just like republicans don’t care about the debt.

It’s about power, corruption, and tax cuts. Whatever benefits him/them personally.

Follow the money.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.

The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

New in PN: This is what a white supremacist administration looks like

"The Republican Party of today, embodied as it is in Donald Trump and the administration he leads, is no longer so worried about being called racist, because it has unashamedly taken white supremacy as its cause."

This is a must read. The most in depth understanding of how corrupt our foreign policy has become. Trump and Witkoff (Rubio totally sidelined) are proposing to sell out Ukraine in exchange for Russian deals for their billionaire crowd.

Not about peace. Just about profit.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Donald Trump attempted to bypass the Senate’s constitutional role by installing a loyalist to act as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. From the beginning, I have objected to Trump's maneuvers to keep his preferred nominee in power and the court today affirmed that those maneuvers were unlawful.

🇺🇸 SEN. KELLY: “We said something very simple and non-controversial, and the president said ‘hang them’ — Hegseth is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our history, and the president doesn’t understand the constitution.”

OTD in 2021 Russian Embassy on Londonograd reported that US & UK were manipulating false claims of a Russian invasion & occupation of Ukraine to spread panic.

Which is why you can believe us now we say we want peace.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.

Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

This is the power of a dictator, not a president.

Everyone who works for him are traitors.
The last president who declared that anything he does is legal was Richard M. Nixon. And we all know how things worked out for him . . .

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Reminder: If Trump believed even for one minute his orders to the military were always going to be lawful, he would’ve endorsed the PSA from democratic lawmakers, not threatened to have them arrested and executed.

This is totally unfair. Witkoff and Kushner had extensive help from the Russian foreign ministry, and they are trying to hog all the credit. SMH.
One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.

And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.
