The Melania movie drops as ICE kills two people in Minnesota. This isn’t just a Marie Antoinette moment—it’s Let them eat cake, filmed, scored, and released nationwide.

Thank you, Professor!
The video episode is up: DOJ vs. Trump — The Indictment That Never Came (with former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner).

Why didn’t DOJ indict—and how does “corruption” happen through pressure, incentives, and normalization?

Musk sends the “fork in the road” email—and starts insulting the people doing the work. If you’re inside DOJ: stay and fight, or resign and warn the public?

Someone in the Trump administration must have read the US Constition as they are systematically defying it
Congress can either defend its war power—or hand it to Trump. Venezuela won’t be the last case.
