BREAKING: Donald Trump has asked Boeing to design a new military jet and he’s naming it after himself.
The contract is worth more than $20 billion. This comes a time when his commerce secretary talks about social security being on the chopping block. 🤡

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Making it easier to go after terrorist groups surely seemed like an easy vote when this bill first came out. But giving Donald Trump the power to arbitrarily assign the terrorist label to groups he doesn't like changes that calculation significantly.

The Constitution also says he requires the "advise & consent" of the Senate to approve his nominations.
President-elect Trump has mused more than once that he might like to extend his next stay at the White House. But can he run for re-election again in 2028 and seek a third term? The simple answer: No, the Constitution does not allow it.
Here’s what the law says.
