Jeffries: "What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune had the decency to distance himself from Trump's remarks. But Mike Johnson couldn't say a thing."

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

Shame on ICE.
They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.

One reaction to the first part of Ken Burns' documentary on the American Revolution:
One thing that really antagonized the people of Boston in the run-up to the Revolution was the occupation of the city by Redcoats dispatched by London. Having a standing army in their midst infuriated Bostonians.

'Company employees have also “spent hundreds & hundreds and hundreds of hours counter-sourcing product, pausing production, restarting production, rushing production, running price analysis, cost analysis, shipping analysis,” Abel said. “I spent zero minutes on tariffs before this administration”'
Trump's tariffs are costing companies. Keeping up with them may cost even more.
The proliferation of trade regulations and threat of intensified enforcement have driven many companies to spend what could add up to tens of millions of dollars.

Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

Open bribery by a foreign leader. The exact scenario that the Founders feared.
