The hope is that Trumps unpopularity will eventually convince his enables to stop enabling him.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

Filipe Campante @filipecampante.bsky.social · 2d

I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

Look, give the guy credit. He's made it very simple. For Trump, lawful. Against Trump, unlawful. Who needs an old faded and torn Constitution that has lots of words in it?

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

@adamsmith.house.gov tells @gregsargent.bsky.social he presumes Adm. Holsey was forced out for objecting to illegal boat bombings: "This is the president of the US unilaterally deciding to kill people who pose no direct threat to the US... something no one in the US military should be part of."

You can listen to the full interview with ranking Armed Services Committee Dem Adam Smith about Trump's illegal bombings in this link. It's horrifying, revelatory stuff from beginning to end:

Trump Boat Bombings Take Darker Turn as Top Official Suddenly Resigns

As the head of the military’s Southern Command steps down, Adam Smith, the top Armed Services Committee Democrat, sheds new light on the departure—and on Trump’s appalling secrecy about the bombings.

With the ACA, women finally got a break with their more expensive healthcare needs. It's a damn shame that MTG is following this path.

The first thing you have to do when you agree to work for Trump is you take the red pill and shit out all of your integrity.

Q: In 2018, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. Two years later, there were 1,000 more steel workers and 75,000 fewer manufacturing workers in the sectors dependent on steel

PETER NAVARRO: I dispute those facts

Q: That's a Ball State study

Trump wants rid of Obamacare and this will whittle it down as folks drop coverage. He wants rid of it because it has Obama's name linked to it. That's what he worries about.

Make no mistake about it. Trump wants to crush the Democratic Party and any other resistance, cancel the midterms and "reign" until he's gone.

Opinion | I resigned from the military because of Trump

I could not swear to follow a commander in chief who seems so willing to disregard the Constitution.
