It’s legitimate to want a regime dismantled after decades of terror, regional destabilization, and repression. But that urgency doesn’t erase constitutional limits—or the need for strategy over impulse. The rule of law isn’t a barrier to security. It’s the only durable way to achieve it.

Trump reads the story of a veteran who saved his fellow troops and then ad libs: "That story is 100 percent correct, isn't it, huh? How much have you paid him over the years? Have you said, 'Take everything we have, we wouldn't be here,' right?"

Remember that they did this w/VZ as well. I'm genuinely wondering if Trump believes he's more secure (from the Deep State) at MAL. Or maybe he just views this, as he did the VZ thing, as a personal adventure from which to profit.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
