I don’t think Stephen Miller is going to enjoy the world where the majority of Americans know who he is and what he’s about.

Hillary Clinton being a boomer who had an email server set up for her like many defense secretaries prior had is the correct amount of digital savvy that you want from most people running the government, vs people who can quote chapter and verse off 4chan and something awful.

"I'm not going to discuss that": Bondi clashes with senators over Comey, Epstein and Trump Senators demanded answers. Bondi refused to give them.

Pam Bondi could teach a masterclass in avoiding the truth. Criminals on trial take note, this is your guru.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

US Department of War reduces cybersecurity training, tells soldiers to focus on their mission Cybersecurity training is apparently no longer a priority for the US armed forces

Scaling back crucial training on the way modern war is waged...so an alcoholic failed TV personality can cosplay GI Joe with our military. πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great move!

Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is β€œour time to stand up and be heard.”

Can it be so that Judges aren’t allowing the USA to Deport Criminals, including Murderers, out of our Country and back to where they came from? If this is so, our Country, as we know it, is finished! Americans will have to get used to a very different, crime filled, LIFE. This is not what our Founders had in mind!!!

Hegseth cancels Pentagon program. It was signed into law by Trump. The 2017 bill Trump signed into law was backed by two current Cabinet members when they were members of Congress.

Hegseth is somehow even more ignorant than your typical bigot...

Trump’s inverter approval

Trump’s inverter approval

Donald Trump’s approval rating average has now completely inverted after less than 100 days.

On Day 1 he was at +7.6.

As of today he is at -8.0.

That’s a 15-point swing.

Disastrous.
