Stephen Miller was not elected by anyone. What right does he have to dictate any national policies, much less exact & expect them to be followed? He’s the Chief of Staff, not the Prez! His Freudian slip proves he’s the driving force behind the ice provocations hoping for an aggressive end!

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

I’m really so proud of all the Governors & Resisters who keep cool heads & don’t fall for Trump’s ploy to cause aggression to sate his blood lust! He wants blood, we won’t fall for his primal need! Releasing the Epstein files will cause thousands of his brainwashed base to walk away forever!

Excited that a person who truly loves our Constitution, Country & People will protect Maine from the ravages of a corrupt Admin that chooses to do us harm!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.
