It highlights the stark political divisions within the country and the intense emotions tied to the prospect of Trump facing legal consequences.

In only two months, Donald Trump has aggressively attacked American values, laws, and citizens. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s handling of a recent funding bill, which included “Maga” priorities, demonstrated a lack of urgency and strategic planning in the face of this assault.

This failure, coupled with his apparent downplaying of the severity of the situation, has led a grassroots movement to call for his resignation. A new leader is needed who recognizes the urgency of the situation and will fight with the same determination as the American people.

If Pete Hegseth had any honor, he would resign. This isn’t a question of whether he *should* resign; the sheer weight of evidence points overwhelmingly to the fact that his continued presence in his current position is an affront to the very concept of honor. The numerous accusations leveled against him—from credible accusations of rape to accusations of being an alcoholic and pathological liar—paint a picture of a man utterly unfit for public service, let alone a position of such significant responsibility.
If Pete Hegseth had any honor, he wouldn’t have taken the job in the first place. His qualifications have always been suspect, and the very fact that he was appointed suggests a complete disregard for competence and a prioritization of loyalty over capability.… Continue reading

Former President Trump publicly criticized his portrait in the Colorado State Capitol, deeming it a purposefully distorted depiction and blaming Governor Polis, despite the painting’s commissioning predating Polis’s governorship.

Trump’s criticism sparked online mockery and debate, highlighting the contrast between his reaction and the artist’s intent for a historically neutral representation. The incident further underscores Trump’s sensitivity to his public image.

Senator John Curtis, a Utah Republican, firmly rejected the notion of supporting a third term for President Trump, calling it ludicrous and stating he wouldn’t have supported a third term for even George Washington. This response comes amidst discussions by Trump allies, including Steve Bannon, suggesting a third term is possible despite the 22nd Amendment’s prohibition. Legal experts largely agree that no constitutional path exists for such a scenario, dismissing proposed workarounds as legally tenuous and likely to fail. Trump himself has previously stated he doesn’t support amending the 22nd Amendment.
