Idk if its me or the giant white elephant in the room, I really hope there is a leadership in the Pentagon who realize the president has gone rogue.

Our Prime Ministers daughter is attending Harvard. The current activities by this corrupt administration is downright scary and depressing. I am so hoping that the US can come back from the damage being done. Canada 🇨🇦 🙏 🇺🇸

Thanks for connecting us today. Technology is great when it works! The information that you and Ryan discussed was certainly gripping, and it allowed me to see the tight link to our First Amendment right of Freedom of Speech. A TRO is comforting for a short time, but if Trump is allowed to eviscerate this freedom after the TRO, we are indeed watching a dictator and dictatorship replace our languishing democracy with permission and blessings from the courts and the Congress. Our country is collapsing under the weight of lawlessness and greed by the executive branch. How much longer can we survive as a democracy?

Everyone needs to know about Homeland Security trying to change valid intelligence-gathered facts for the purpose of changing the narrative and making Tulsi Gabbard and Trump look good. Excellent reporting by NYT has brought this to light.

Thank you both for this analysis and for presenting it in such a measured way. It is so important for us to be able to learn about events eroding our freedoms and the rule of law. I hope you both have enjoyable distractions to regroup after putting out these posts.

Thank you so much gentlemen! It does seem to me that these MAGAs are simply traitors. Thanks for educating us again and again.

The term is “falsify”, not

“change the facts.” Thanks for bringing light to this.

The problem is that Trump hates America and is doing everything possible to destroy everything pro-American....so ironic that he would go after Anti-American anything when he is the epitome of exactly that

I have not heard much mention of anti-immigration policies that will have a significant effect on the growth of the economy. Not just those who wanted to go to Harvard and Stanford but workers in every sector.
