President Trump announced the termination of all orders signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen on Friday. This declaration, made on Trump’s social media platform, claims any document not directly signed by Biden is now canceled, though the specific orders targeted remain unspecified. Trump alleges the autopen’s use was illegal, despite the Justice Department confirming its legality, and has previously fixated on the matter. Biden, in response to prior accusations, has affirmed he made all presidential decisions during his term.

According to a Fox News report, the FBI and Department of Justice are directing the U.S. Capitol Police to assist with interviews of six Democratic lawmakers who released a video advising service members they can refuse illegal orders. The video, which prompted former President Donald Trump to call for their arrest, has led to investigations, with the Department of Defense also opening an investigation into Senator Mark Kelly. The lawmakers, including Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representatives Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan, maintain their statements are in line with the Constitution and U.S. law, while Trump and others have labeled their actions as seditious. While interviews of lawmakers are not uncommon, this situation involves the content of public statements.

Treasury Defends Minting a $1 Trump Coin Despite 1866 Law, a situation that’s certainly stirring up a lot of discussion, and for good reason. It’s a tangled web of legal arguments, political maneuvers, and, let’s be honest, a whole lot of public opinion. The core issue? There’s a long-standing federal law, specifically 31 U.S. Code 5112, that seems pretty clear: no coin can bear the image of a living former or current President. Yet, here we are, seemingly staring down the barrel of a potential Trump dollar coin.
The Treasury’s defense, as I understand it, hinges on the circulating collectible coin redesign act.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s deployment of federal law enforcement in Washington, D.C., has been widely criticized as a political stunt, concentrating resources in low-crime areas and ignoring those in need. City officials and residents report feeling less safe, while Trump and his allies falsely claim success and accuse the city of lawlessness. The actions appear to be fueled by resentment towards the city’s diversity and cosmopolitan nature, as evidenced by the celebration of actions against ordinary residents by Trump’s supporters. Ultimately, the “crime” narrative seems to be a pretext for punishing a city for being more liberal, sophisticated, and diverse than certain segments of the population approve.

Texas Democrats took their state trooper escorts to one unexpected spot: A Dallas gay bar, and the reaction is, well, complex, to say the least. It’s like a scene ripped straight from a movie, a mix of political statement, mischievous rebellion, and perhaps a dash of plain old discomfort, depending on your perspective. Some see it as a hilarious bit of trolling, a clever way to subvert the power dynamic. Others view it with a more critical lens, pointing out the deeper implications of the situation and the underlying power structures at play.
The idea of state troopers being “taken” anywhere, especially by Democrats, raises immediate questions.… Continue reading
Pentagon Strips Harvey Milk’s Name From Navy Vessel, and frankly, it’s utterly disgusting. This whole situation, stripping a ship of its namesake, the iconic Harvey Milk, feels like a deliberate slap in the face. It’s hard not to feel a sense of outrage when you see such a blatant political move, especially when it targets a figure like Milk who fought so courageously for equality. It’s as though they’re threatened by the very idea of a person like Harvey Milk, a man who stood for inclusivity and acceptance.
Pentagon Strips Harvey Milk’s Name From Navy Vessel, and it really makes you wonder about the motivations behind such a move.… Continue reading
Ed Davey, leader of the U.K.’s Liberal Democrats, staged a publicity stunt at a Canadian-themed pub to demonstrate support for Canada amidst President Trump’s tariffs. Davey’s actions, including a call for Prime Minister Starmer to visit Canada, highlight the growing British concern over Trump’s trade policies impacting both the UK and Canada. While the Prime Minister offered a more measured response, subtle gestures of support from the Royal Family, including King Charles’s display of Canadian medals and the planting of a maple tree, suggest a broader, albeit largely symbolic, British show of solidarity with Canada. Davey’s political stunts, a hallmark of his leadership, aim to galvanize public support for specific causes.
