Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said "This strike sent a clear message: if you traffic drugs toward our shores, the United States military will use every tool at our disposal to stop you cold.”

Why then did Trump announce a pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández, the ex-president of Hondurus?

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

Our kids deserve classrooms, teachers, and opportunity — not a government that diverts billions into a Department of War. Trump is once again choosing power and punishment over people.
This administration is dismantling the Department of Education and creating a Department of War.

What does this say about the future they’re creating for our children?

Trump is turning the DHS into his own failed money pit with a personal agenda — pulling agents off child exploitation, human trafficking, and terrorism cases just to chase headlines.

Trump signs a bill releasing all unclassified Epstein documents within 30 days.
Bondi still has ample discretion to decide what exactly to release, including any she deems as possibly compromising federal investigations.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

A White House reporter was “insubordinate” to….MBS??
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Non-stop threats.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.
