Trump's reference to the "enemy within" is not about immigrants. If you still think this is about immigrants, you're missing the plot. Trump has declared war on Americans who believe in democracy--all Americans who who oppose his incipient dictatorship. The majority of us.

These beauty contestants know to stand together against bullying and disrespect. Too bad that the "reporters" for the major news media don't know enough to walk out when Trump calls one of them names & threatens them.

Ro Khanna split the GOP. Turned the House against Trump for the first time! Led a fight that defeated Trump in Congress! Whatever Trump & Bondi do next, that is a huge achievement with profound lessons. Here are some in an interview of Khanna. NO PAYWALL: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/o...

Let's welcome any opposition to Trump by anyone for any reason. It's easy/true to point out Greene's sordid history. I don't like her. We don't need to like those who join with us on issues. Right now, she's weakening public support for Trump---& based on a real reason: Epstein files. Good for her!

For sure. Bondi has *a* copy, not all the copies. You can’t build an empire like Epstein did, without an intricate system of failsafes. The more she sanitizes her copy, the worse it will get. Too many people have seen the evidence, in attempts to flag donald, and she can’t get ahead of that.
