If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

You can't remember the last time a President did this, because this is the first time.
Still kinda bothered that our president is calling for the execution of folk in Congress who served in the military for encouraging folk to defend the constitution. I can't remember the last time a president did this and I've been around for a while.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
