Well, this one WAS garbage.
“More explosive early resignations are coming,” one unnamed senior House Republican told the outlet. “It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower.”

“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage,” the lawmaker said

BREAKING: Judge rules Lindsey Halligan's appointment was not valid, thus, she had no authority to present the James Comey or Letitia James indictments and the indictments are dismissed without prejudice.

So no problem, then. And nothing to investigate Mark Kelly for.
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."

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.

I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

So, one reason to slow-walk EVERYTHING in the Trump era is that you need to give the procedural and paperwork fuck-ups time to emerge. You don’t grant UC. You don’t yield back post-cloture time. You don’t concede that paperwork is properly filed, or that signatures or appointments are validly made.

1/Judge Cameron Currie dismisses the Comey prosecution because Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed US Atty.

Perhaps the ultimate test of whether you can, in fact, create your own reality using social media.

Though I’m sure something even more outrageous can still be imagined.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

I feel like I’m living in a time warp. A DC rally calling for the impeachment of a Republican president despite having a Republican Congress. And now callbacks to the Obama administration’s disinterest in prosecuting lawbreaking by their predecessors, and how it emboldened the next Republican.

Duck season.
Trump didn’t read before posting:

“OUR AMERICAN CODE OF MILITARY OBEDIENCE REQUIRES THAT, SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

The irony of these people complaining about the invented dangers of immigrants and then welcoming brain pollution from overseas hustlers.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It's got to be wild to be a run of the mill Republican asshole who buys the party line about waging war against pedophiles in the government, and then you find some pedophiles in the government and try to wage war, and your Republican asshole friends are like "wellllll, define 'pedophiles'"

Just like there USED TO BE prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insisted it was always “too soon” to “get political” about the latest mass shooting.

We beat the shit out of that.
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
