Since Trumpers were posting “no one is above the law” all day yesterday about the disgusting raid on Ilhan Omar’s home, I’m sure they’ll be fine with California executing a search warrant for Katie Zacharia’s residence to investigate whether she engaged in the unauthorized practice of law

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

ICYMI, great statement by former VP Mike Pence about Trump's betrayal of Ukraine. Scandal there's no one else left in Republican Party able to say it out loud.
President Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin's ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey
Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin's war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin's war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin's war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn't want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia's military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

❗️Zelensky responded to the latest criticism from Trump and Musk: “These people (Trump and Musk – ed.) cannot find the key to stop Putin. Because stopping Putin is harder than pressuring others. Because it’s easier to talk about prices and link it to Ukraine.

a judge in NY just called out THIS SAME MF for filing a fraudulent warrant 3 days ago
[screenshot, NY district court order:] After the Court required a further submission to explain this incongruity, respondents submitted an affidavit from [highlight] Brenden Cuni, a Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer with ICE [end highlight], who was responsible for conducting the background searches. DE 20-7. Cuni was notified “some time before 5:50 PM” that “Petitioner was detained.” Id. ¶3. He [highlight] searched five separate federal databases, all of which “yielded negative results.” [end highlight] Id. ¶5 (emphasis added). Cuni then “issued and signed the I-200, Warrant of Arrest, and checked off the boxes relating to ‘biometric confirmation of the subject’s identity and a records check of federal databases . . . .’” Id. Of course, since the records checks were negative, it was undeniably false, though represented as true in the warrant, that “biometric confirmation [and] records check of federal databases affirmatively indicate” that the petitioner lacked immigration status. DE 7-1. Cuni explains that [highlight] ICE then processed the petitioner, and in so doing, entered his data into those various databases. After processing (and after the warrant was signed and executed), Cuni ordered another officer to run “a second records check of the electronic federal databases, which then yielded positive results . . . because Petitioner’s information was now part of the system.” [end highlight] DE 20-7 ¶7 (emphasis added).

The Critical Minerals Beneath The Trump Corollary - PopularResistance.Org
The map of the new war over minerals stretches from the lithium flats of South America to the rare-earth deposits of Greenland. Its vocabulary is familiar: supply-chain resilience, national security, diversification, and partnership. Beneath these neutral phrases lies an older project. The United States wants to reorganise the mineral wealth of the Western Hemisphere around its own industrial and military needs while keeping China at arm’s length. The latest name for this ambition is President Donald Trump’s Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 – crudely nicknamed the ‘Donroe Doctrine’. The joke is crude, but the politics are not.
