The same House members who warned service members that they must refuse unlawful orders from President Trump are now saying the FBI is attempting to intimidate them into silence.
Punchbowl also reporting that Senator Mark Kelly has heard from the FBI.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

A federal court said this week Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in D.C. was likely unlawful and harmed the District’s right to govern itself. The court rejected Trump’s claim that he can independently mobilize the Guard for local policing.
