Heather Cox Richardson corrects a misreading of the Constitution. When a president is impeached, the entire administration is not removed. Each member must be impeached individually.

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

More than 30x as many Palestinians have died, including 47% of Palestinian children. This is genocide.

Now is not the time for #IsraeliPropaganda.

"The Pentagon is not merely tightening a policy. It is attempting to redefine journalism as a narrow privilege granted on condition of obedience: The government decides what reporters may seek before they seek it, and punishes them for seeking anything else." www.thebulwark.com/p/locking-do...
Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous
Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

On a peace deal with real estate prospects.
A historian or a journalist should do a plagiarism check of Biden's peace plan with Trump's. It might clarify attribution.

A ceasefire, a victory lap, and a lurking “Gaza Riviera” business plan—was peace timed for politics and profit?

The Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime is pure evil. I hope karma comes for each and every person that went along with his hatred.

What happened to deporting the criminals, the worst of the worst? 🎁

America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back.
He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S. Then ICE arrested him. If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

CNN needs to decide whether its business is journalism or advertising. They could resurrect the clip as, in hindsight, a reveal they missed.
