There's no question in my mind that the Supreme Court is going to let Trump do whatever he wants. There will be no checks on his power either through Congress or the Court. The only way we can save America is through our votes.

I don't believe that the quid pro quo for Trump dropping the charges against Eric Adams is for his help with deportations. We don't know yet what the true quid pro quo is, but it must involve significant personal benefits to Trump.

There is no better weapon that Trump and Musk can have than personal IRS records to use against anyone. They must be stopped.

Trump wants all Palestinians to leave Gaza so he and Kushner can build hotels. Trump's only motivation is self-enrichment. He could not care less about the poor, sick, starving or homeless in the world.

Trump and Musk are committing so many illegal acts all at once, in the hope that the legal system won't be able to stop all of them any time soon.

No Federal employee should sign the offer to resign. The Federal government does not even have the funds approved for the payments promised.

There is absolutely no reason for Elon Musk and DOGE to have access to the US Treasury's payment system. We should all be very worried.

There is no legitimate reason for the ‘DOGE’ to have access to the federal payment system.

Due to Trump's executive order eliminating DEI, West Point clubs for women and other minorities are dismantled. This is unconstitutional. The First Amendment provides for the right to assemble.

If the Democrats take back the Congress and Senate in 2026, they can move to impeach Trump. By then, there will be ample court rulings determining his actions to be unconstitutional.
