When a judge ruled that FOX has no legal obligation to report the truth, that's all you need to know about FOX and its Media ilk.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

"If the Supreme Court officially makes the chief executive a unitary executive, the advancement of the public good may depend on little more than the whims of the president, a state of affairs normally more characteristic of dictatorship than democracy." www.salon.com/2025/10/08/t...

The Supreme Court is headed toward a radically new vision of unlimited presidential power - Salon.com

Senate Democrats are warming up to Graham Platner, an oyster farmer running for the US Senate in Maine. Now they’ll have to decide if they’re willing to snub their party’s dream recruit, Gov. Janet Mills, to support him. Over a half-dozen Democratic senators sang his praises in interviews this week.

Graham Platner has a growing Senate fan club

The Maine oyster farmer is winning praise from some Democrats as he prepares to face Chuck Schumer’s dream recruit.
