I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.

I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

Trump Calls Somalis β€˜Garbage’ He Doesn’t Want in the Country

The NY Times said Trump labeling Somalis as β€œgarbage” was β€œshocking in its unapologetic bigotry.” Then NYT put the story on Page 13. When Trump called for β€œtermination” of the Constitution in 2022, NYT put it on Page 13, too. In case you wonder if NYT has learned anything in the last 3 years. 1/🧡

Union Pacific says rail merger could unclog Chicago. Critics worry about costs and traffic tie-ups. Union Pacific’s plan could mean less congestion and pollution, but neighborhoods near tracks could experience more commuting delays and noise.

The β€œincreased monopolistic power” of the combined railroad will drive up shipping costs and could kneecap America’s global competitiveness, according to nine Republican attorneys general in a letter last month.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

US admiral to retire amid military strikes in Caribbean and tensions with Venezuela Alvin Holsey just took over the US southern command late last year for a position that normally lasts three years

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: As a military officer, I was repeatedly trained on the law concerning illegal orders. 

Now, veterans citing this law have been targeted by the president with threats of prosecution and death - because they oppose him politically.

If the government acts against them, it will further display President Trump's thirst for the one thing our Republic cannot abide: tyranny.

The president and his special envoy are primarily concerned with finding a way to make Putin happy by providing a sufficient reward for his brutal and sadistic war of aggression. We have become a country that sells out our friends and embraces the worst people on the planet.

Sen. Mark Kelly has piloted a space ship – and a fighter plane into battle.

Pete Hegseth abuses alcohol and has had multiple allegations of abusing women lodged against him. Donald Trump looks directly into total solar eclipses without eye protection and has dodged the draft five times.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process.

I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

FBI seeks interviews with Democratic lawmakers who urged US troops to defy illegal orders Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a social media video urging U.S. troops to defy β€œillegal orders” say the FBI has contacted them to begin scheduling interviews.

Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress,” a group of four Democratic House members said in a statement Tuesday. β€œYesterday, the FBI contacted the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms requesting interviews.”

Senator Mark Kelly Is in the Wrong Job He should be secretary of defense.

Pete Hegseth is right: Mark Kelly shouldn't be a senator.

He should take Hegseth's job and be SECDEF.

I'll be on MSNOW at 4pm to talk more about it.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
