We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

This is a longstanding pattern on the right -- they insist they are The Real Victims of some imagined abuse, which then justifies in their mind their own acts of abuse because they're just pushing back, see?

It’s true. Joe Biden had EXACTLY the same deal with Mexico that Trump just announced — except he didn't have to threaten a trade war to get it. Let’s see if the mainstream media reports this accurately. (Don’t hold your breath!)

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.” But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

Donald Trump... ✅ Boots FAA chief ✅ Freezes hiring of already short-handed air traffic control personnel ✅ Offers to “buyout” federal workers ✅ Guts key aviation security advisory group And when one of our busiest airports is understaffed he has the nerve to blame wokeness?

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

No one can quash the legacy of the Tuskegee Airman. Same for the Buffalo Soldiers. That unit was sent to West Point from 1907-1947 to replace an undisciplined white unit. During segregation, they trained all the white officers who fought in WWI & II & they built a legacy. We know their story.
