Among other things, am old enough to remember when there was supposed to be a wall separating DOJ and the White House. Now the AG apparently works there?
Bondi on Boasberg: "Those inmates, those violent gang members, those violent alien enemies will remain in El Salvador. He cannot get them back, so his jurisdiction is over ... going forward, these terrorists better look out."

Make no mistake, Trump not only wants no alliance with Ukraine but is now actively working to undermine its government and therefore its war effort.
He is in league with Vladimir Putin in every way that matters.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Yes it’s one of the main reasons for the DOGE blitzkrieg, but basic questions are not being asked when pushing back on all these fraud, waste and abuse claims by the WH. One thing I’m not seeing talked about enough is the speed at which the fraud is being supposedly discovered at all these agencies.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.
This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

A vote for President decides who wields the powers in the Constitution.
If a President reaches for more powers than those in the Constitution, that person is no longer a President. That person has violated the oath of office placed on him by the Constitution.
