Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

NYT: Gorsuch gave “a description of governing completely at odds with what is currently underway at the Capitol, where Republicans… ceded their power to one man… acting as if they have no wisdom to tap, or no business doing so.” nytimes.com/2026/02/21/us/… via @NYTimes

A Royal Reckoning.

This regime wants to “assess” the effectiveness of women in combat — even though senior enlisted leaders from every military branch have affirmed that women meet the standards. Women in combat aren’t a threat to national security. Pete Hegseth’s misogyny is.

On the day of the ruling, Trump said he’d make tariffs 10 percent. Today it’s 15 percent, continuing a long streak of asserting the power to raise and lower taxes on a daily basis. nytimes.com/2026/02/21/bus… via @NYTimes

The Trump administration doesn’t want you to see ICE’s cruelty. Agents are surrounding cars, calling out observers, and accusing them of “impeding” when they are simply filming from a distance. This is intimidation. Plain and simple. npr.org/2026/02/18/nx-…

This is how you pretend your vacation is work related so you don’t have to pay hundreds of thousands for the government jet you flew on to watch a hockey game.

President Trump withdraws endorsement of Rep. Jeff Hurd (R) in #CO03 (Trump +10 | 2024) over his vote to disapprove of US tariffs against Canada: Endorses his GOP primary challenger Hope Scheppelman instead.

With friends like Ambassador Mike Huckabee and leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו, איתמר בן גביר, and בצלאל סמוטריץ' Israel doesn’t need enemies.

“But America now appears to be on the brink of war with Iran again. And this time, instead of acting as a deterrent, the Pentagon’s war plans are being used to draw up options for the president to consider” theatlantic.com/national-secur…

Senator Warnock lays it plain.

What country does #theFeloniousPOTUS think he is allowed to destroy? The United States? A country we are not at war at? Who gave him this phantom authority? Why haven’t Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson not publicly reminded the President he has no such authority?

The Navy has two hospital ships, and both are out of action undergoing maintenance. The White House didn't respond to questions about what prompted the deployment. The Pentagon referred questions to U.S. Northern Command, which referred questions to the White House.

The buildup against Iran isn’t about freedom or nuclear weapons. I believe it is about Trump’s troubles at home, including elections in 8 months. It may also be about helping his pal, Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו, who is very unpopular and facing both elections and a criminal conviction.
