I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

First, it was members of his Cabinet, then members of Bill Pulte's family and now the President himself.

The breathtaking hypocrisy of this adminstration's weapon-of-choice shows the real basis for these investigations: political retribution.

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.

Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals?

It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.
Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?

TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision

A date which will live in infamy.

Today, we commemorate the more than 2,400 Americans who were lost during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

We are forever indebted to the courage of those who stood up for democracy and freedom — and we will never forget their sacrifice.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Everything Trump does turns to shit.
After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs.

"If the federal government had said, ‘Oh, it's a 10% tariff, constant,' … they might've worked things out," an employee said. "But no. It's just chaos."

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
