Trump has no respect for the military. He doesn't want protectors of the Constitution; he wants "HIS" soldiers to make him look strong and to brandish against the world.
He will never understand self-sacrifice. As he asked General Kelly at Arlington:
"I don't get it. What was in it for them?"

Trump: “Dear Prime Minister Carney:
Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The DHS Form-205, a “warrant” of removal/deportation, is signed by an ICE official, not a judge. That’s precisely why it does not meet the Fourth Amendment standard.
(JD did go to Yale Law School so he legit may not know how the Fourth Amendment works)

JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Trump backed off of the Europe tariffs. But mark my words he will circle back to it and do the same damn thing again. Eventually he will succeed and the GOP won’t stop it.
