The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Admiral Holsey reportedly raised concerns about Trump and Hegseth’s orders to conduct illegal strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea. He resigned from his post only months after getting it. His concerns were proven correct by recent revelations Trump has been murdering innocent civilians.

“The Constitution is clear — and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land — that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser, told reporters. “So it’s an option that we’re actively looking at.”

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Every Republican in Congress should be asked if they agree with Trump that it’s a “good thing” if truck drivers and dockworkers lose their jobs
REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs
TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing
