Ukraine never signed a “Trump peace plan”; no such plan exists. Trump pushed a Russia written proposal and tried to pass it off as his own, it was replaced by a legitimate European framework coordinated with the US. Real peace requires Russia to leave all Ukrainian territory.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

I’m not mad DOGE is gone early.
I’m mad they slinked off like criminals in the night after ensuring 14 million people will die worldwide by 2030 and facing no repercussions for it.
Over half a million are already dead from USAID being cut.
And the majority of those dying are children.

ALL of us who served honorably in the military swore the lifelong oath to protect the Constitution from ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. We, who served honorably, have never forgotten that oath. Some of our non military leaders seem to forget they swore to protect the Constitution. I Wonder Why?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

He already sent a lynch mob to chase Congress out of the Capitol and it was a skin-of-their-teeth miracle they didn't manage to get their hands on any of them.
It's a big deal, but shouldn't be framed as shockingly new. It is his longtime position that murdering his political opponents is good.
