Mike Johnson, of course, misses the point. The President should notify Congress of military action. He's the head of Congress. Him NOT being notified about a "double tap", kill everyone military action on foreign territory is the problem. Trump is not a king. Hegseth is not the Secretary of War.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The game? Control the news cycle. Do/say ANYTHING to control what "mainstream media" is talking about (for 6-12 hours or more).
For example, attack Senator Kelly, the most decorated.
This means no Epstein for a few days. Or, the shell game they're playing on behalf of Putin in the Ukraine.

We're 10 months into this, and there have been hundreds of violations of court orders, ZERO arrests of the administration actors who ignore orders.
ZERO. ZERO arrests after 10 months of violations. Many violations resulted in deaths and ruined careers, but they keep going on. Still ZERO arrests.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.
If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.
