Exclusive: President Trump and international partners are discussing plans to build a “Riviera of the Middle East” on the rubble of Gaza.
One plan would establish U.S. control and pay all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population to leave.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Maybe orchestras and companies that normally perform at the Kennedy Center should find one of the many other venues in Washington to perform at? I suspect many of us would prefer to attend concerts, theater, etc., in an atmosphere of freedom, not under the patronage of a wannabe tinpot dictator.

Far too many people mistake petty stuff like this for strength. Instead of what it obviously is—the action of weak, small, insecure men who recoil when faced with actual integrity. They know, deep down, guys like Milley are everything they aren’t.
Griffin: Secretary Hegseth has decided to immediately pull General Milley's security detail. Hegseth also ordered the new acting inspector general to conduct a review board to potentially strip General Milley of a star in retirement.. All highly unusual actions.

Just a reminder that there are real human beings, with families, who are having their financial and professional lives turned upside down tonight by the richest man in the world, who has a string of his own families he’s abandoned, and who was not elected to anything.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

"Winning an election is not and can not be permission to engage in lawlessness. Pardoning insurrectionists is perhaps the second-most lawless thing a U.S. president has ever done, surpassed only by the incitement of that very insurrection by the same president."
Democrats: introduce articles of impeachment tomorrow. Ignore the pollsters and strategists who will tell you not to for the same braindead reasons they always tell you not to stick your necks out. Just do what’s right, it couldn’t be easier to explain.
President Trump has pardoned 1,500 people who stormed the Capitol four years ago to block his successor from taking office, including 174 charged with using weapons or assaulting police and conspirators who plotted "to oppose by force the lawful transfer of presidential power."

It will change it a little bit in that these traitorous shitbags can now recruit and act again and the message sent to new recruits is that they can get away with it so long as Trump is in power.
All the pardons and commutations won't change the fact that the Jan. 6 rioters are traitorous shitbags, and they always will be.

Trump’s pick to head OMB Russell Vought says he wants government employees “traumatically affected” and “to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” Targeting our nation’s public servants is wrong and dangerous.
