Exactly right
When the Commander-in-Chief is literally a convicted felon, the real constitutional duty is to question unlawful orders. The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not to a criminal pretending to lead it.

"I'm a U.S. citizen"

ICE: "I don't care"

🤬
How can anyone continue to support this??
ICE kidnapped a 17-year-old U.S. citizen named Christian Jimenez. Jimenez, a high school senior born in Newberg, Oregon, was driving on his school’s lunch break when ICE/CBP agents stopped his car, smashed his window, and abducted him on November 21, 2025.

The "peace president."
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Yesterday on Truth Social, Trump shared a screenshot of a pro-Trump MAGA account on X asking if foreign-born citizens should be barred from holding elected office.

The X account in question is being run from Africa

This ruling is also an indictment (pun intended) of Pamela Jo’s incompetence.

She illegally made Halligan the Interim US Attorney/EDVA per orders from Convicted Felon Trump. And then Bondi scrambled to make Halligan a “special attorney” just in case she wasn’t validly appointed in the first place.

This is DOJ's defense👀

"the evidence clearly demonstrates that Texas was not doing DOJ’s supposed bidding—much less in a race conscious way—but instead was engaged in a race-blind partisan gerrymander that happened to affect the districts DOJ identified."

Donald Trump is out with another unhinged attack on Ukraine as he pressures President Zelensky to accept his “Peace plan,” which amounts to Ukrainian capitulation:

“Ukraine leadership has expressed zero gratitude for our efforts.”
