Perhaps not technically illegal, but an impeachable abuse of power.

Texas men indicted in plot to take over Haitian island and enslave women and children Gavin Weisenburg, 21, and Tanner Thomas, 20, planned to take over Gonave Island and murder all men on the island, prosecutors alleged.

You thought it couldn't get any worse, didn't you? Silly you.

In case anyone was wondering whether the techno-oligarchs who direct the programming of AI will use it to insulate their power and immunize themselves from the consequences of their crimes, Grok's recent antics regarding Musk answer your question. Hilariously pathetic? Yes. Dangerous? Also yes.

That said, threatening a member of Congress is a felony, and Trump did not (and could not) do it in his official capacity. So he must now be impeached, convicted, and prosecuted.

Dan, explain how a law school is responsible for every student's human failings. How exactly does a collection of professors teaching legal method and substance take charge of each of 500 yearly students' moral character? Use your brain, brother.

News for Trump: Disobeying illegal orders is not sedition, it's required by law (specifically, the UCMJ). And death is a possible penalty for sedition only for persons in the military, not civilians, including senators or congressional representatives.

The problem with Larry Summers isn't his association with Jeffrey Epstein, it's his association with Larry Summers. It hardly needs repeating that university faculty have a duty to put the interests of students before their own. The minute you start scheming to manipulate a student, you've failed.

They're interrelated. Directors and officers interlock and exchange positions in a revolving door, creating a system of quid pro quo by which they inflate each others' salaries and benefits.

The Trump Administration's murders of individuals on boats in international waters violates international law generally, and international human rights law specifically, regardless of whether they are drug traffickers. That part is irrelevant. Using the military for this purpose is a war crime.

Trump Wades Into Bailout Politics in Offering a Lifeline to Argentina

Nothing says "America First" like shutting down the U.S. government while propping up the Argentinian government.

Cass, very disappointing. If he thinks someone who denies "a right to be free from discrimination" can still be a liberal, then he shares a definition of "liberal" with zero thoughtful persons.
