I'm trying not to borrow trouble here, but I have two teenage step-sons who will be hitting 18 this year. They are already worried about and having difficulty with the state of the country and world atm. I just worry this is one more topic to add to the pile for them... 😕
A reinstatement of the draft would have severe consequences to the regime. It is totally unworkable in the present day.
This would cause massive social unrest and instability throughout this country. There is nothing the government could do to stop it.
The military draft comment from Leavitt feels like a trial balloon.
If there's enough outcry, Trump denies it and Leavitt falls on her sword for "misspeaking."
If there's not, Trump and Hegseth bring it up casually and slowly push. For example, Trump may "joke" about it as a next step.

@sanders.senate.gov: "Trump is a pathological liar. He will say anything at any time to serve his own purposes... He says he's for affordability but he gives tax breaks to the rich, sees healthcare costs soar, groceries soar, gas prices soar, etc."
What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner.
Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence.
These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., the rich and powerful are still being protected by the Trump administration.
Unmarked vehicles arrived at Sandringham Estate as police took him into custody.
UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.
Should your esteemed constabulary be inclined to cross the pond, we are in possession of a most splendid catalogue of miscreants (which we would be delighted to preserve in like confidentiality) for your good offices to apprehend.
Former Republican Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert went to prison for molesting children.
Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times
Current Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson seems to be running a pedo protection program.
Do you think Republicans have a problem?
So… not a hoax then?
Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."
MS NOW has obtained a statement from the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre:
At last.
Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.
Donald Trump’s secret ICE thugs are murdering American citizens. And then they are lying to the American people to avoid accountability.
This is fascism, plain and simple.
ICE needs to be abolished and they need to immediately get off of our streets.
This is Alex Pretti.
Alex Pretti was a great American.
The people defending his killers are not.
Under California Penal Code Section 518 PC, extortion is a criminal offense that involves the use of force or threats to compel another person into providing money or property, or using force or threats to compel a public official to perform or neglect an official act or duty.

Boy, I am just a former state public defender and federal criminal investigator but someone is going to have to explain to me how federal agents who are not on federal property are able to block state law enforcement from accessing a crime scene
Sounds like pretty clear Obstruction of Justice to me
Holy shit.
🔥 “This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now. It’s into your 2nd/4th/6th Amendments… We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution… Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.”

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Republicans currently blaming everyone for the homicide except the people who pulled the trigger.
I told the White House the state must lead the investigation.
Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.
The State has the personnel to keep people safe – federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so.
There is video before showing he was just videotaping.
Rest in peace. Praying for his family 💔
Being armed isn’t a shooting justification in itself. And def not after you’ve been disarmed
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"
Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers
Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.
