Impeach Hegseth NOW. He is urging war crimes & illegal acts by our troops

Text SIGN PGKHYC to 50409 — Impeach Hegseth now. His speech today was dangerous and alarming. He was asking our armed forces to break the law: he encouraged US soldiers to commit war crimes against US citizens on U.S. soil. That would meet the definition of treason, right? He also urged the military to blindly follow political and illegal orders. I am appalled. You should be too. His speech was grossly authoritarian, and puts our national security and individual freedom at risk. How long are you going to tolerate the shredding of the constitution by those who swore to uphold it? Hegseth needs to be removed now.

Allegations of Pay to Play is a hallmark of this Trump Administration and Border Czar, Tom Homan, is no stranger to them.

@propublica.org investigative journalist, Avi Asher-Schapiro, joins me w/his latest on the push to cash in on Homan’s role in the Trump Regime.

Yes, Melania made it painfully obvious what she thought about Christmas in the White House.

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads:
“Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years.
The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.”
Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

Stephen Miller's very own grandparents came to the US to escape a dictatorial pogrom. They didn't speak English. Only Yiddish. And he has the nerve to attack today's immigrants?

I'm retired and on Social Security. I spend most of my life educating myself about current events and fighting against the Trump Administration. It makes me FURIOUS when Trump or anyone maintains I'm paid for this! By whom? How much? How do I get the money?

Not deluded. Not lying. DEMENTED. I like the suggestion that a suite in a nursing home should be gussied up with flags & gold decorations from floor to ceiling & just tell him he's in the Oval office. Take him out once a week & fly him to a golf course in a helicopter. He won't know anything's up.

Donald Trump promised to go after drug cartels but his administration is instead wasting law enforcement resources to target migrant workers.

So, in other words, it's only her family's rights that matter. She never makes a stand on issues that have a negative influence on other people. MTG still has no interest in OTHERS, so no one should waste time praising her.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.
