"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes

“Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

House Republicans have been missing for a month while public servants work without pay, health care premiums surge and working families suffer.

It’s time for them to come back to Washington and do the job they were elected to do.

If you have GOP MoCs (either House or Senate), call their office TODAY and tell them it is a grave disservice for them to let Trump send them to a war of conquest w/o the least legal cover, much less any attempt to get bipartisan support.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

One of the most difficult things abt the Trump Admin.

It's beyond question he's corrupt and happy to harm the US.

What ISN'T clear is what he considers too scandalous to pull off.
