Any of the famed lawyers or orgs want to get involved?

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

@meiselasb.bsky.social You need to reconsider your enthusiasm for Newsom, or at least temper it with a critical look at his admiration for Reagan.
These are the "good and decent people" who didn't survive the Reagan presidency.

Sick ain’t the half of it. He’s also a Russian stooge, traitor, murderer and crook on a grand scale.
I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

He went after USAID because they were instrumental in abolishing apartheid in South Africa, something his family flourished under.
He helped kill 600,000+ people, many of them children. But hey it's okay, none of them were white.
This shouldn't surprise anyone.

Probably time to loudly repeat that members of the military must not follow illegal orders. The US is not at war with Venezuela and has no right to threaten aircraft in its airspace, let alone shoot anything down.
