This is the story of a pathological liar who was immunized by the Supreme Court, is drunk on power and thinks a journalist should not confront his obvious lies. It’s all there in a two-minute exchange about an obviously fabricated photo. www.americaamerica.news/p/trumps-ris...

These judges ruled against Trump. Then their families came under attack.
As federal judges rule against the Trump administration in dozens of politically charged cases, the families of at least 11 of the jurists have been targeted with threats and harassment. The intimidation campaign has strained judges and their relatives – and legal scholars fear it could have a chilling effect on the judiciary.

Trump is "soft-launching" his third term. Forget that he's trampling the Constitution. Once his MAGA defenders start wearing these hats around, it begins the process of normalizing the idea. That's the goal. That's the tactic. It's authoritarian marketing.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Info Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother came from top general's secure messages
Hegseth has denied the information he shared was classified, but it was given to him on a system for sensitive and classified information, sources told NBC News.
