Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Trump claims he didn’t sign the proclamation used to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — but his signature is right there in the Federal Register. So… who is signing these things? And is that even legal? And did he sign any of these executive orders either?

Chuck Schumer is on a media tour defending his capitulation to Trump. Schumer is showing more fight against Democrats in defending his capitulation to Trump than he showed against Republicans in capitulating to Trump. So he fights—but only for himself—not for his party or for the American people.

The right now wants to pardon Officer Chauvin who was convicted of killing George Floyd. Chauvin had his knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. This led to the biggest protests this country has ever seen. Trump wants this so he can violently crack down & declare Martial Law.

interesting to me that no one condemns republicans for “racial essentialism” when their most prominent voices — say, the literal president and vice president of the united states — believe that citizenship has an ethnic and racial basis. www.thebulwark.com/p/vance-immi...

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.
