This year, many people resigned their posts at the slightest hint that the Trump regime was displeased with them instead of staying and making someone fire them.
Sharyn Alfonsi is showing us why you stay and refuse: you make clear your superiors are wrong and may them pay the costs of firing you.

This paraphrase of 60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi in Playbook is really the thing: “declining to air a story because the administration wouldn’t comment for it amounted to handing the state a veto on journalism”

We kept seeing people say Trump would start a war right before the Epstein release deadline. Looks like you were right, this sure looks like Trump declaring war on Venezuela on social media, without congressional approval.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Ex Trump lawyer argues that the Constitution is insufficient to address the unprecedented abuses of power committed by President Trump. He asserts that Trump’s actions in Venezuela and Colombia constitute war crimes, and soldiers should be aware that they are not obligated to follow illegal orders.
