Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Trump ends the marathon cabinet ego-stroking session with a viciously racist rant about Somalians in Minnesota and Rep. Omar
He calls them “garbage”, “we don’t want them in our country”, Somalia “Stinks”, they “contribute nothing”, and “88% of Somalians get welfare” (a lie🤥 )

The first drone strike on U.S. soil along the southern border would mark a turning point—akin to when Putin began bombing Chechnya. It would signal the breakdown of the rule of law and the collapse of democratic norms surrounding military engagement in the United States.
