When The President Becomes The Police

The Posse Comitatus Act reserves the police power to the states, prohibiting the federal government from using the military for domestic law enforcement absent truly compelling circumstances.

"Is this socialism" she asked.

Trump Praises Perpetrators and Blames their Victims

In Trump’s political language, empathy flows upward, blame downward — a reversal that confuses justice itself.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Trump Won on the Economy. Now Voters Have Buyer's Remorse.

Trump's brand as a strong businessman carried him back to the White House. But the honeymoon is definitely over.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Yes, typically asbestos filled structures are demolished in a few days with no mitigation measures and dumped by a golf course under a mesothelioma cloud.

WELKER: Why didn't the president tell the public he was going to tear down the entire East Wing, which as you know is part of the people's house?

BESSENT: Well, I think this was a judgment call on the president. The president is a master builder. It could've been asbestos. It could've been mold.
