Trump underestimated lower federal courts, the single biggest obstacle to his autocratic ambition. He suffered humiliating court defeats on repealing birthright citizenship, deploying National Guard to Chicago,etc. The list of Trump defeats grows longer by the day

I saw videos where FOX added fake background clapping and extra noise. PBS recorded the entire event without touching up. FOX is trying to cater to the fat demented leader. FAKE

I would be worried about sending JD Vance on important diplomatic trips if he can’t do something as simple as remember the correct name of a government officials. Do we really want to take a chance that he’ll make an embarrassing flub on the world stage?

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Dozens of ICE vehicles posted up at Dodgers Stadium Gate E. Folks are suspecting that they may be bringing people here after conducting raids.
