Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

"FEWER" Lawyers. Or some other alliteration. (I know this is beside the point. Sorry. I can't unsee that. Where was his editor?)
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

Americans are too passive about their leaders committing war crimes in our names.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Northwestern faculty voted 595-4 to reject the Trump extortion racket. Northwestern students oppose it by a similar 99 to 1 ration. So who supports it? Jonathan Greenblatt and his ADL, which connived to remove Northwestern's president when he opposed the shakedown.

Trump lashed out at another female reporter

He asked her if she was a stupid person, because she pushed back on his lies

She graduated from Princeton University

He’s a national disgrace and embarrassment

I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

They pretty much want to ethnically cleanse the United States of anyone who doesn’t descend from the Mayflower.

That should scare the shit out of the GOP. If she wins, all bets are off. The GOP Congress is toast. If you have time to help with phone & text banking, please do.
