Following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during a DHS immigration operation in Minneapolis, former DHS General Counsel John Mitnick called for President Trump’s impeachment and removal. Mitnick, who served during the Trump administration, cited his “rage and embarrassment” over the department’s actions, echoing criticism from others like George Conway. The incident, which has sparked protests and jurisdictional disputes, has also drawn responses from current officials like Minnesota’s governor and President Trump, further amplifying the political implications. The investigation is expected to be led by state officials, while the federal government is also involved.

As Trump’s authoritarian tendencies escalate, his disregard for legal and constitutional boundaries grows increasingly apparent. A recent PRRI poll indicates a majority of Americans view Trump as a dangerous dictator, yet significant forces capable of opposing him, such as retired military officers and the legal profession, have remained largely inactive. Despite a few instances of legal action against Trump’s actions, bar associations have generally failed to take decisive steps to defend the rule of law. The author urges new leadership within the legal community to harness the profession’s influence to combat Trump’s actions and uphold the principles of justice.

Following the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti by a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) law enforcement officer in Minnesota, Democratic lawmakers immediately renewed calls for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. The shooting occurred amid growing protests against ICE and the Trump administration’s immigration policies, with many eyewitnesses describing the event as an execution. Over 100 House Democrats have already co-sponsored a resolution to impeach Noem, citing obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust, and self-dealing as grounds for removal. Despite the ongoing efforts, the impeachment attempt is expected to face significant hurdles in the Republican-controlled House and Senate.

A growing number of House Democrats, now numbering one hundred, have co-sponsored articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The articles of impeachment accuse Noem of obstructing Congress, violating public trust, and self-dealing, with specific examples cited for each charge. This support has increased significantly, fueled by criticism of Noem’s actions, particularly after the shooting of Renee Good. While the effort has gained momentum, it faces a significant hurdle due to Republican control of the House of Representatives.

House Democrats support for impeaching Kristi Noem is exploding. The situation is pretty clear: Kristi Noem has become a focal point of intense criticism and calls for accountability, and the frustration seems to be reaching a boiling point. The sentiment here is that action is long overdue, and the fact that a Democrat is even considering impeachment is a step in the right direction. It’s perceived as a way to show that, “Hey – this woman is awful and needs to go.” This is more than just political theater; it’s a message to the public.
This push is seen as part of a larger strategy, a rallying cry for voters.… Continue reading
Over the weekend, it became clear that former President Trump is seriously considering invading Greenland, prompting international alarm. Trump’s threats, including a message to the Norwegian Prime Minister, indicate a potential military action driven by a desire for control over Greenland. European nations are responding by sending troops to Greenland and preparing for a potential invasion. While Congressional Republicans have expressed opposition in private, no significant public action has been taken to counter Trump’s rhetoric, despite widespread public disapproval of the idea. Given the severity of Trump’s intentions, it is essential that Congress now takes action to prevent a potentially devastating conflict.

In response to President Trump’s statements regarding the acquisition of Greenland, several Democratic politicians have called for his removal from office via the 25th Amendment. These calls come after Trump sent a letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister reiterating his desire to take Greenland and stating he no longer felt obligated to pursue peace after not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. The 25th Amendment’s Section 4, which allows for the involuntary removal of a president, has never been invoked, requiring both the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to agree the president is unfit, a scenario unlikely to occur at this time. Furthermore, due to the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, impeachment efforts appear unlikely as well.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump threatened escalating tariffs on Greenland and its allies, leading to widespread condemnation from NATO members and within his own party. Republicans like Congressman Don Bacon and Senator Thom Tillis criticized the tariffs, labeling them “foolish” and detrimental to American interests and alliances. These actions are seen as a potential threat to his presidency, with some Republicans warning of impeachment and arguing that Trump’s overreach is undermining his own position. Furthermore, the Supreme Court may rule against the tariffs, which could have significant legal and political consequences.

A petition initiated by Blackout The System, in partnership with American Opposition, calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump has garnered over 90,000 signatures, citing concerns of “greed, corruption,” and violations of the U.S. Constitution. The petition claims Trump’s policies have negatively impacted the economy and threatened the rights and well-being of the American people, including vulnerable groups. This effort comes amidst previous impeachment threats and growing discontent over Trump’s actions. While the petition highlights serious issues, it is unlikely to lead to impeachment given the current political landscape.

President Trump’s recent diplomatic communiqué to Norway’s prime minister, expressing interest in acquiring Greenland due to a perceived snub from the Nobel Peace Prize committee, is the subject of the article. The letter, deemed dangerous and delusional, reveals a president making irrational decisions fueled by hurt feelings, potentially jeopardizing national security and international alliances. This behavior is symptomatic of a decline, making it crucial to seriously consider the 25th Amendment, which addresses presidential incapacity. Even though political hurdles exist, it is a tool that must be discussed.
