"fact that the Trump administration is dropping charges for gang leaders who committed crimes against the US, and instead handing them to El Salvador to be disappeared into the prison system, amounts to collusion between two governments to cover up a gang pact by disappearing witnesses."

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

I think the question isn’t whether Democrats try to impeach Trump if they take control of the House, it’s whether they try to impeach *Hegseth*.
I’m no expert on war crimes, but this all sounds illegal…which is precisely what those 6 Democrat veterans were warning against.

📌Trump announced that South Africa would not be invited to next year’s Group of 20 summit in the U.S.
He is doing this for one reason -- and one reason only -- he is a bigot, and so is the majority of his grotesque core support, who are fueled by racism.
This is sickening, and must be called out.
