SCOTUS tells Trump no on deployment of Illinois Nat’l Guard, finding a valid exception to the Posse Comitatus Act doesn’t exist. Huge loss for the Trump Administration. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

Running back the tape on this Trump speech, and man, reading from the teleprompter just wasn’t happening for him tonight. Multiple points where he appeared lost, confused, or simply gave up on the sentence at hand

I know that I don't have to point out that the oil, the land all of it belongs to the Venezuela people.

But I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Trump is now officially using the Vladimir Putin playbook.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

The Signalgate report showed that Hegseth risked American lives. Instead of taking responsibility, his sniveling responses were the worst kind of bureaucratic ass-covering.
