The way this Catturd dude has started to fancy himself an all-purpose GOP strategist is quite something. Especially because he owes much of his following to Elon taking over Twitter, *and* the dude still thinks the algorithm is trash

The Boston Globe on the strange case of the mother of Ms Leavitt’s nephew being deported. Apparently, from the quote below, his father — Ms Leavitt’s brother — wants her gone.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

Even by Pete Hegseth standards, I find it pretty wild that his best response to Mark Kelly being in that video about refusing illegal orders was to… threaten to write him up for a uniform violation?

Those of us familiar with Justice Robert Jackson's concurrence in Youngstown Steel certainly recall the "Because He Has Proven He Can Protect America" test on the limits of executive power when acting beyond congressional authorization.
Lutnick on the tariffs case before SCOTUS: "You're gonna watch the Supreme Court back this president because this president has proven that he can protect America. We're gonna win this case. You heard it from me."
