Retired, amateur Historian. Please no dms , porn or other nonsense. I'm a veteran who's concerned about our democracy.
The courts, our protests and Trump's incompetence are giving his regime a massive Thanksgiving headache. Fighting back pays off. These people mistakenly underestimated the public's ability to defeat them.

NEW: A $1 MILLION DOLLAR SANCTIONS order against Felon Trump & parking lot lawyer, Alina Habba, has been upheld by a federal appeals court.
I've got the details of that order, incl. the affirmation that Trump has a “pattern of misusing the courts” for bad faith litigation.

Remember what happened to the late President. Nixon's staff that followed his illegal orders. They were convicted in federal court. They believed that following orders would protect them.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

No President with successful or unsuccessful policies hid the economic data from the public. Hiding the test results doesn't cure the cancer.

Interesting thread on Epstein Evidence...
The FBI and the DOJ are redacting the Jeffrey Epstein evidence, primarily to protect victim privacy and avoid compromising ongoing investigations. However, the law PROHIBITS redactions solely to prevent embarrassment or reputational harm to public figures.

Homeland Security's Kristi Noem just yanked protections for nearly 4,000 Burmese folks, claiming Myanmar's all peachy with elections and ceasefires. Ignoring the civil war that's killed 8,000 civilians. Back to the slaughterhouse for them. #Myanmar

In Watergate, President Nixon received a pardon but over forty Republicans were convicted of crimes. They were following Nixon 's orders, so they felt safe. The same standard exists for our men and women in uniform. They could face conviction on illegal orders by a President.

The Trump admin has now canceled the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, AND the GDP Report — a full economic blackout. This is what failing, corrupt regimes do when the truth would blow the doors off their lies. They’re not delaying data; they’re hiding a disaster.

Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. led the U.S. soldiers who killed hundreds of Vietnamese civilians in the My Lai massacre, the most notorious war crime in modern American military history. He was 80.
