To the DOJ/FBI who remain,
Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.
Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.
It will not work here either.
Proceed accordingly.

The article reported that a former senior Soviet KGB spy chief claimed Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence 38 years ago and given the codename “Krasnov.”
We are not confirming its validity, only pointing out the unusual nature of its disappearance.

European leaders have tried to avoid getting into arguments with U.S. President Donald Trump since his reelection. That approach is being tested following his verbal attack on Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
