BREAKING: Trump is literally allowing the nation, which gave him a $400 million jet that he called a “terrorist supporter” eight years ago, an Air Force Base in Idaho.

Is this “America first“?

It’s honestly staggering—watching millions throw away 249 years of democracy for a criminally convicted, unhinged reality show con man. The Founders didn’t fight a revolution for this circus.

Either trump didn't take a cognitive test today or he took one and failed it.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 9h

Many were asking that since Judge Perry granted the TRO "in part," which part was she not granting. The answer: "The Court declines at this time to enter a Preliminary Injunction, and also to extend the scope of the TRO to include the military..."

This is the TRO blocking deployment of the NG to IL
