Trump says Biden’s executive actions are “invalid” because of Autopen signatures. The DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel already settled this: Autopen signatures are legally valid. Trump is claiming authority that does not exist anywhere in American law.

My hope for this holiday season is that all of maga suffers unimaginable consequences and in the end, fewer of them come out on the other side of this. As you know, I’m not one for being compassionate, but I think this is over the top, even for me. 😂😂😂😂😂

Using official White House platforms to shame news organizations for their reporting is unconstitutional government retaliation against the press.

Trump announced a pardon for the ex president of Honduras who was convicted in a huge drug-trafficking case.
Meanwhile, he’s ordering extrajudicial strikes on alleged drug smugglers—state-sanctioned killings with no process, no charges, no evidence presented to a court.
This is authoritarianism.

FYI: There is no legal mechanism for a president to “terminate” a predecessor’s official acts by announcement.
Trump is asserting a power that doesn’t exist in the Constitution, statute, or precedent.
This power does not exist. He’s making it up.

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.
