If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Watch how he drags his right leg. He’s descending on into a physical breakdown. His mental condition is equally grave.

It is truly baffling that a country that was founded on the notion and experiment that FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY were by far better than the rule by a monarchy would be at the mercy of tyranny and an individual who wants to be king.

Trump and his administration won’t stand with people living with HIV/AIDS on World AIDS Day, but Democrats will.
Today, we remember all those we’ve lost, and recommit ourselves to the fight of eliminating HIV/AIDS worldwide.

Looks like Trump and Hegseth might be preparing to throw the military under the bus on the second strike.
This is why you don’t execute illegal orders. Because you are responsible

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.
Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.

Hegseth has now pushed Adm. Bradley into the center of potential murder-charge and war-crime allegations. The White House said today, “Adm. Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was totally destroyed.”

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.
The Trump administration is a criminal organization.
Rebuilding American democracy will require massive efforts to expunge his work. Removing his nominees, erasing his executive legacy and rescinding his pardons will be just the beginning

Trump’s inevitable exit "will be a day to celebrate, even while we acknowledge how much work lies ahead—not only to begin to repair the destruction and hold the criminals accountable, but also to reimagine how we can build a progressive future." www.americaamerica.news/p/hello-911-...
“Hello, 911? A Violent Man Is Holding Our Country Hostage"
Trump's sadism and lawless hostility were knowable before he retook office. Can America ever overcome its attraction to violent demagogues?

Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.
After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.
