Not how the rule of law works. Precisely the opposite, in fact.

The Guardian has a rough outline of what the Tulsi whistleblower complaint is about: NSA found someone close to Trump in contact with foreign intelligence, and rather than doing something about that, Tulsi brought the report to Susie Wiles.

Not sure if anyone has noticed a pattern that everything this administration does seems to benefit Moscow: weaken alliance credibility and deterrence and signal unpredictability.

The way forward for Dems is to abandon the "turn-the-page/turn-the-cheek ethos" and replace it with "proud accountability for enemies of democracy," says @brianbeutler.bsky.social.
Post-Trump era must be about accountability, not hollow reconciliation.

What the hell is the New York Times doing?
In its article on Trump posting a video that included a clip of the Obamas as apes, NYT tries to help him come up with an excuse: "It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it."
WTF.

If this proposal happens there will be ZERO reforms to Border Patrol or ICE. Nothing will ever change. Once something like this is agreed to, that will be the end of all negotiations as far as Republicans are concerned. Dems will get no reforms on immigration enforcement.

Roger Stone recently posted a pic w/ Vance & published an article the same day recycling the baseless claim that VZ stole the 2020 election. Will Trump pressure Maduro to “admit” stealing that election as a pretext for Trump to cancel or f#ck with 2026? Is this why Tulsi seized machines from PR? 1/

Yes. The folks who study election rumors and conspiracy theories are worried that a forced (and false) confession by Maduro (of 2020 election fraud) is a real possibility, and we’ve already seen some (wink, wink) foreshadowing of such a move.
