Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

In a leaked call Xi Jinping connected with Trump last night. Xi told Trump 2 things
1. There are NO deals with China
2. China will invade & and take Taiwan
Xi is not asking. He is telling the weakest president in history what the US is going to do. NOTHING
Xi feared Biden but knows Trump is a joke

“There is no agreement that can restrain a man whose aim is the elimination of Ukrainian statehood. And there is no “ceasefire” that will be honoured by a regime that interprets weakness not as an invitation to compromise, but as an invitation to strike.”

So the next President can just take away everyone’s guns. Cool.
“I AM THE LAW” vibes.
Its not like any of them know how laws work.
"Just last week, a federal judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard into Washington, D.C., was illegal. But Leavitt is doing what she does best: mindlessly supporting & justifying everything the president does."

The State Department exists to conduct foreign policy, not wage domestic culture-war battles. Using its official account to attack DEI & transgender Americans represents a significant deviation from the Department’s core mission and a dangerous politicization of U.S. foreign-policy machinery.

The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

This administration lies so much they’re now doing pre-crime PR for illegal orders that haven’t even happened yet.
Leavitt: "Not a single order this president or administration has given to our military has ever been illegal, nor will it ever be. This administration respects and abides by the law."
