They’ve crossed one line after another since January - and we must not become numb to the mounting damage to our military and national security.

The pundits are correct that Trump and his administration are an abomination. But what I don't get is why more outrage and disgust is not channeled towards Republicans in general and specifically those in Congress who could easily stop this madness through impeachment. They are bringing us all down!

Why is there so little talk about the insider trading that surely went on (is going on) around Trump's tariff fiasco.?

The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government.
With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command.

President-elect Trump is keeping the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort secret, in a break from tradition that could make it impossible to see what interest groups, businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term.
