I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

🇪🇺🇮🇷 Kallas: The death of Khamenei is a defining moment in Iran’s history.

There is now an open path to a different Iran, one that its people may have greater freedom to shape.

I’m in contact with partners, including those in the region, to find practical steps for de-escalation.

“Never” will be? Surely he must mean “not while I’m president” or “not over the remainder of my term”, right?

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.

Impeach and remove Trump—now.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. 

The thugs wrestled him to the ground.  They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times.  They murdered him.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

What are the odds that Mike Johnson never reconvenes Congress, and just cedes all government functions to Trump and his administration?
