SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

Senator Tammy Duckworth, a military veteran, DESTROYS Pete Hegseth over his misuse of the military. Instead of preparing America to defend itself he’s abusing it to patrol neighborhoods. ‘If you want to be DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for the job after you’re fired for your incompetence!’

I'm watching Trump at a press event at the G7 with our PM Mark Carney. He's trying to get Russia back into the G7. Blames Trudeau, but conservative Stephen Harper was PM at the time. He claims that there would be no war. But Russia was ousted because Putin invaded Crimea. Trump is an idiot.

At first glance it could be one of dictator Lukashenko's goon squads in Belarus or the 2013 military coup in Egypt. In fact, it's the LA sheriff's department arriving after the clash between US Border Patrol and protesters in Paramount, LA County, California on Saturday. 📷Apu Gomes/Getty Images

Here is the video for the world to see. DHS officers came to my Congressional office to intimidate my staff and office. There were no protesters. There was no riot. This is an extraordinary Executive Branch overreach into Congress, a co-equal branch of government and this is totally unacceptable.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

With the tariffs decision, the immigration cases, and battles over law firms, Harvard, and arbitrary presidential power--the battle is joined between the Trump administration and the defenders of the rule of law and a free society.
