Trump’s DOJ just defied a Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia—wrongfully deported, now missing in El Salvador. This isn’t a delay. It’s open defiance. If the Court backs down, the rule of law dies with him. This is the moment. Act—or surrender democracy.

Control over university teaching is a key goal of the extremists who have infested the US government. This directive to the Naval Academy is just the start. Pressure will come on state universities, then private ones. If the president can impound federal spending, he can dictate what is taught. 1/
SCOOP: Naval Academy leaders sent an email to faculty this week that teaching about “divisive concepts” such as systemic racism + sexism is no longer permitted. Faculty also can’t talk about environmental justice or gender ideology. Our exclusive:

But that's what they want--a public too exhausted to be outraged and utterly anesthetized to what is happening.

He snubbed the first woman to serve as VPOTUS while she was performing her duties.

And in doing so, he made his wife's professional moment about himself and his petty grievances.

LADIES, ALWAYS CHOOSE THE BEAR.
The husband of Republican senator Deb Fischer just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris.
