Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back.

They think it’s funny.

Chaos is the goal. Why? Is it because that is Putin's goal and he's in charge?

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

Trump officials have terminated more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration without realizing that they oversee America’s nuclear weapons.

They are now trying to rescind the terminations.

Yet somehow Musk isn't.
