“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.

New — Mike Huckabee's family company is offering $5800+ trips to Israel, so tourists can meet "top Israeli officials," even while he is the Ambassador to Israel. Plus: he promised his Huck PAC would go "dormant" if he became ambassador. That didn't happen. Over the past 2 years, it's raised $4.5M.

I think that, like every other attempt they’ve made to go after high profile regime enemies through the legal system, this is likely to end poorly for them in court it is also an extremely dangerous escalation and should be treated like the emergency it is by both Dem leadership and the media

New statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar’s office on Trump admin’s efforts to deport her: “the truth is that Trump’s push to strip her of her citizenship and deport her has no basis in the law and has no precedent.”
“Trump has spread lie after lie about the Congresswoman in a desperate attempt to justify his extraordinary abuse of power. This is politically motivated and an escalation of Trump’s personal vendetta against her lasting over a decade. He has lied about her family, about her immigration history, and about her love of this country. But the truth is that Trump’s push to strip her of her citizenship and deport her has no basis in the law and has no precedent. This isn’t a legitimate law enforcement action – it is an authoritarian move to silence an opponent right before an election where he and his party will be rejected by Americans in historic proportions. To Trump, no American value or principle is too important to be shredded for his own personal gain.”
