Few Americans realize how close the president took us to the brink of nuclear war in his first term before aides talked him down. Today, there's no one prepared to stop him.

Remember: not only are top Trump officials moving onto military bases, but not long ago, the president ordered the Pentagon to “start testing our nuclear weapons” for the first time in 30+ years.
🍊 can’t decide if it’s a “war” or an “excursion.”
Defiance members aren’t waiting.
Today they mobilized with @independentveteransofamerica to unite independent veterans against forever wars.
Share to show where you stand.
Wow.
Sen Murphy just now: Trump team briefed Capitol Hill that destroying Iran’s nuclear program is NOT one of their objectives.
So why ARE we at war? What the F are we doing there? Is Trump sick? Senile? Psychotic?
Really — what the hell is going on?
But apparently… it is real. Donald Trump reportedly has a footwear fetish. He’s testing the loyalty of his lieutenants by whether they’ll lace up in the same black shoes he wears. And yes, it’s creepy.

This is such a classic dictator trope — forcing subordinates to copy your style — that I thought it couldn’t possibly be real. Think Mao Zedong and the “Mao Suit,” or Saddam Hussein and “The Mustache", or Joseph Stalin and the “Generalissimo” outfit.
NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.
“Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.
We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.
So is anyone from the FBI going to ask the president about the allegation that he raped a 13-year-old girl?
“Republicans own this…They lashed themselves to the president with ball-and-chain oblivion. Now there’s no daylight left between them and the decisions producing $100 oil… a financial crisis… and a terror threat level that’s blinking red.”

My former GOP colleagues are still “standing by their man” — the month he starts a war, slaughters civilians, starts a global financial panic, puts Americans in the crosshairs of terrorist attacks, and is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl.
Good luck in the midterms.
Kristi Noem will be remembered for treating the American people like she treated her dogs.
Here are FIVE REASONS Trump has left us vulnerable to a terrorist attack by Iran.
www.defiance.news/p/five-reaso...
I oversaw counterterrorism at DHS for two years in the first Trump administration.
I’ve never seen DHS less prepared to defend the U.S. against a terrorist attack.
And Trump took us to war five days ago — with a country that is hellbent on retaliating.
2008: Fragile economy. Oil surges past $100/barrel. System spirals.
2026: Trump starts a war with Iran. Strait of Hormuz closes. Oil headed toward $100/barrel.
Doesn’t take a finance whiz to predict the next major financial crisis.
Here’s who’s speaking. Watch at DEFIANCE.org.
Democrats in Congress are planning to skip Trump’s speech tonight in droves.
We are holding a rebuttal event by the White House that’s now sold out.
So I need to put this in terms Donald Trump will understand: our crowd size is bigger than yours.
With many Democrats boycotting Trump’s speech on Capitol Hill, there’s likely to be MORE people at our rebuttal event than on the House Floor at his speech.
Trump’s hates it when your crowd is bigger than his.
BAD WEEK FOR TRUMP — Immigration approval tanking. Supreme Court strikes down tariffs.
NOW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he’s FLYING OUT for a rebuttal to the State of the Union.
Mayors of two “cities under siege” — Chicago & Minneapolis — will now defy him. In DC.
"There are moments in our country's history when leadership is measured not by party loyalty, but by moral clarity. This is one of those moments," said Frey.
His rebuttal will be delivered at the National Press Club and streamed nationwide.
Details: www.prnewswire.com/news-release...
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to deliver State of the Union rebuttal in DC.
He told ICE to “get the f**k out of Minneapolis.” Now he’s heading into Trump’s own backyard to call out federal overreach.
Must-see TV.
White House Press Secretary: “There’s many reasons and arguments that one could make for a strike against Iran.”
Trump is weighing going to war against another nation…
…and hasn’t settled on the reason yet.
This looks like an amazing lineup! Free to stream or get tickets for DC. www.defiance.org/sotu
Want to piss Donald Trump off next week? Watch this instead of his State of the Union Address.
Reminder for Trump officials willing to break the law for the president:
He ain’t gonna protect you when he’s gone.
Just say no.
Or prepare to be investigated & prosecuted down the road.
Trump on Friday: “I’m warning you, CNN and MSNOW, do NOT feature Miles Taylor. Or I’m coming for you.”
Me this weekend: “We won’t be intimidated — you witless thug.”
Today, the President warned CNN and MSNOW not to have me on their programs more — or else.
Looking forward to joining CNN later this evening and MSNOW tomorrow morning.
See y’all then.
I guess what we are doing at DEFIANCE.org is working. We’re generally allergic to creepy old bullies.
REMEMBER: Trump was indicted in Georgia on 13 felony counts for election meddling.
Last week, FBI agents returned to the scene of the crime and took all the ballots.
Is Trump probing “foreign interference,” as he claims… or finishing a criminal scheme he began 5 years ago?
Buried in his interview yesterday with NBC, Trump implied that the FBI raided the Georgia election office to "find out the true winner" of the 2020 election.
If that's why they did it, it's a crime -- an unauthorized & unconstitutional recount of a state's election results.
