Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

They picked the wrong veteran to screw with.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

A new Vandenberg Coalition poll shows 72% of Trump voters support helping Ukraine and holding Ruzzia accountable. Over half back sending intel or even Tomahawk missiles to strike inside Ruzzia.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Trump keeps escalating his dangerous rhetoric, and it’s fueling a surge in death threats against anyone he labels an “enemy.” His Truth Social posts aren’t subtle, they’re prompting MAGA supporters to bombard people with threatening calls, emails, and online messages.

Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

The Washington Post writes that Trump did not delve into the details of his administration’s "peace plan" for Ukraine. White House departments don’t know what is going on.

This isn't the first time Trump and his administration have broken the law or violated the US Constitution. It's time to hold them to account.

Trump was not involved in the details of the peace plan. The White House does not know what is happening, — WP citing an American official

"You tell him: 'I'll try to make a deal.' He replies: 'Great, go and see what you can do.' That's the level of his engagement in the matter," the official said.
