Trump’s OPM wants to impose NDAs across the fed workforce. It isn’t really about protecting “confidential government information.” It's about intimidation and making public servants think twice before exposing misconduct, waste, abuse, or criticism the administration doesn’t want the public to hear

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

The MoCA is a screening tool for cognitive decline, not an IQ test. The fact that Trump keeps bragging about “acing” it as proof of brilliance should itself be disqualifying. Authoritarianism thrives on confusing basic competence with exceptional greatness.
They were ready to vote until they realized they might lose. If Republicans believe Trump’s Iran war is legal and necessary, they should stop hiding behind procedural games and vote.
Trump did not choose a random prayer verse. He chose a covenant passage about God choosing a sacred house, healing the land if “my people” repent, and punishing those who “serve other gods.” The Constitution protects religion by keeping the state from turning faith into a test of national loyalty
“They're not paying any tax. They're taking your money.” is propaganda. Undocumented immigrants paid about $59.4B in federal taxes and $37.3B in state/local taxes in 2022. Trump is counting on people not checking. zurl.co/5SqE4
“Pre-funding Donald Trump’s private militia” is the clearest warning in this exchange. The concern is not just corruption. It is the creation of a publicly subsidized incentive structure for political violence.
Jamie Raskin calls on all Republican members of Congress to stand up. When will they finally take the side of the rule of law over their fear of the wrath of a wannabe dictator? When is enough enough?
A week ago, Kash Patel told Congress that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a “convicted gang-banging rapist.” False.
Trump talks about China with a kind of civilizational warmth he rarely extends to America’s democratic allies. With Beijing, it’s “250 years of respect,” shared values, family, courage, and national greatness. With Western democracies, it’s bills, tariffs, weakness, and grievance.
A question about Iran, Israel, escalation, and possible strikes should trigger disciplined language. Instead, he makes the entire geopolitical situation orbit around himself in his typical authoritarian fashion.
Trump runs foreign policy through family and friends instead of actual diplomats. America’s interests are no longer the priority.

Aipac has to go. We send Billions to Isreal, we're the richest country in the world but no free Healthcare when Isreal has free Healthcare.. Greed. Tax the 938 people who hold $8 trillion in wealth 20% and they're still billionaires. The working Americans pay 29% average in federal tax.

use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.
