The Crisis in Uniform: The Danger of Presidential Immunity for the U.S. Military Military personnel are increasingly aware that they may be asked to prioritize loyalty to an individual over their rights and responsibilities

Maj. Gen. Steven Lepper (Ret.) & leading military justice expert Gene Fidell:

β€œEvery military leader… must understand that the law is still the law, even if the Court is willing to exempt the president from its consequences.”

The ICE arrests are state-sponsored evil, perpetrated by our government right in front of our eyes.

It’s the trauma and cruelty with which they’re inflicted. The horrifying condition of the detention centers. The gestapo we won’t quite admit to ourselves are gestapo. 1/2

DJT & Stephen Miller are creating a society that's beginning to resemble France just before their Revolution. That didn't go well for the rich, did it?

Marc Elias for President, on the radio daily...that voice! That message! That truth! The Democratic Party will never speak for the people the way that Marc, by himself, depicts how to save democracy and our future.

No one has an adequate excuse to follow illegal orders. Not in 2025. Getting educated by Fox News & Newsmax is not a defense. ICE agents must back off!

The deportation of mothers and their American born children, without due process, is an act of treason. ICE - stop!

The Trump FCC’s Coercion Cartel The Trump FCC is not protecting free speechβ€”it’s undermining it.

Former FCC Chair Tom Wheeler explains how President Trump and his FCC under Chair Brendan Carr are "moving fast to break three foundational principles of American government and democracy: fair and legitimate investigations, judicial review, and executive branch agency independence."

If "our" gov't is paying millions to El Salvador as reported, shouldn't there be a contract? What does it say? (Trying not to be facetious).

Outside of rescuing illegally detained humans, this should be on full mode attack. If we get to have another election, all who desire to vote should be unhindered in that effort.

Then we're in Ground Hog Day (House version). With #45 - chaos. With Biden - stabilized. Now back to chaos. Higher level will remain a dream.

Yes. Word limitation didn't allow expansion of logical thought explanation by those of us not exposed to the thoughts and practices of the ultra rich. My limited experience saw a man become a millionaire from hard work and then act as a cornered animal in defense of his juicy bone.

Is Krugman naive or simply making noise? One cannot apply logic to the actions of the monied people who have long ago lost their sense of humanity. Thankfully, not all have, but for those such as Musk and Thiel who aspire to total control, beware. Awesome read and Daniel is totally on target!

The trick is to never click on the "Feed". Only manually search for friends and go from one to the next without ever engaging their suggestions.

I've learned to practice self control on how much I view/scroll. I gotta' keep up with my Canadian friends made in the last century who still are on fb.

No, Senator Paul, there are no great savings when the fraud from consumers is myth and corporate fraud is ignored. As a doctor you are aware of corporate medicare/medicaid fraud?Have you ever filled out an application to get Medicaid? States are rigorous to NOT just give it out like halloween candy.

Pundits sound so foolish trying to find explanation in any ultra-right-wing quotes or actions -- destruction is all that is intended. The kind that hurts, or they wouldn't bother.

I wrote a screenplay back in 2003 on Americans subjugated to various kinds of camps -- dusting it off now. Back then I was afraid of Dubya. Hell, those were the good ole days.

When nothing else makes sense, Trump is simply getting even with Canada because of Margaret Atwood. Beware...final season The Handmaid's Tale begins April 8th.
