What Should Americans Do Now? We need a mass movement for basic decency.

On December 7, 1941, Imperial Japan woke "a sleeping giant and filled him with resolve." 85 years on, has America's Mad King again achieved the same?

The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal Attacking an ally would be a perversion of everything the armed forces have been trained to do.

Trump “now genuinely lives in a different reality.” And yet neither Congress nor the sycophants in the White House seem willing to stop him.

Republican members of Congress could stop this madness by removing Trump from office. The Press should hound them relentlessly in public until they explain why they allow this lawless, un-American conduct to continue.

Can't believe I'm seeing this in America. 7 heavily armed ICE agents break into a home and abduct an elderly US citizen without even allowing him to properly dress for the freezing cold.

Federal judge: Trump deportation campaign is at odds with the country’s core values.

US apologizes for mistake in deporting Massachusetts college student, but defends her removal The Trump administration has apologized in court for mistakenly deporting a Massachusetts college student, but still argued the error should not affect her case.

Deporting an immigrant college student in violation of a court order is not a "mistake". It's the policy of a deeply un-American administration that hates immigrants, and a President who pardoned thugs that violently attacked the Capitol on Jan 6.
Apology not accepted.

Jan 6 was the moment Republican Party leadership chose not to remove the threat when they still could. Five years later, the cost of that delay is no longer theoretical.

From ‘I’m Not Mad at You’ to Deadly Shots in Seconds Frazzled agents, quick triggers, and a motor-powered protest movement are creating a uniquely dangerous moment on U.S. streets.

Responsibility lies with Trump's nervous, poorly trained, gun-toting, masked agents zipping around in unmarked cars, grabbing people not engaged in criminal activity, prompting concerned citizens to organize rolling alarm teams to warn of goon squad presence.

In Hearing Transcript, Jack Smith Defends Decision to Indict Trump

Trump is continuing to lose influence in the Republican Party. Mike Pence has no reason to lie, or plead the 5th. His sworn testimony, in combination with the massive evidence, should suffice to secure a verdict of guilty in a criminal trial.

This begs the question: What is Trump's true motive in issuing the pardon? Clearly, it has nothing to do with justice.

Former President of Honduras Is Freed From Prison After Trump Pardon

Today neither OpenAI's ChatGTP nor Google's Gemini AI find any credible evidence in the public record to support Trump's claim of a "Biden Setup". In fact, his claim is contradicted by the timeline of the investigation and the extensive evidence presented in court.

Just more nonsense from the Orange fool that has stated that Ukraine was the initial aggressor in this conflict.

tRump has said that Ukraine is the country that is responsible for starting this war???

How does our media not call him out on this outright lie every day until he publicly recants?

Presidential History, According to Trump

2)The good news is that under federal law, there is no statute of limitations for murder, including murder committed on the high seas , and there will come a day when Trump is gone.

1)While some lawmakers see evidence of criminal liability in the unedited video of the 2nd boat strike that killed survivors on Sept 2, Trump loyalists are attemting to block public access. Classified data can be redacted, so what are they hiding?

Whether the masked men are actually federal agents, or far-right terrorists disguised as same, this conduct is clearly a deliberate attack on the Constitution and rule of law.
