Today's coverage of the Rubio agreement is critical and, apparently, unique. So, too, the recognition -- as in the "Atlantic piece" -- that some of us have tried to use the education, experience, & opportunity gained from life in the US to give notice, or warning, to the rest of us: "they're coming...they're here". When our message was consistently rejected, we faced "choices" of silence, relocation abroad.... But, thank you.

Thank you David for the

Protect Democracy link.

Rubio and Hegseth, just

2 very good examples of

the slime oozing out of

the Deep State swamp.

Ah, yes, give us our daily Ed Martin story, along with our morning toast...is this POS going to remain "interim" USA, or will the Senate ever get the chance for a confirmation vote? As with tRump himself, one believes that we have seen the worst in someone, only to see there is no floor, and that "worst" is mutable with this crowd.

It seems to me that any contract like that should have certain points required legally. If not, could there be ground for dereliction of duty or somehting like that? I have heard no one talk about that contract, what it is, what's in it, where it exists, if it exists (other than on the back of a McDonald's napkin). It seems to me that this is very important as to the Constitutionality of this arrangement.

Agree. Shouldn't it be a judge that gets to see it? The plaintiffs should file a motion for the judge to see it and determine if any laws were violated by it.

It appears that the Constitution means less and less every day.

Actually, I prefer to think that the Constitutional Crisis began with the anti-constitutional decision reached by the Robert's Court giving Trump criminal immunity and placing him outside the law.

The iorny. Rubio. The product of immigrants who were not citizens when he was born. Whose birthright citizenship is under attack by the Administration. Maybe they’ll make it retroactive? He can deport himself to Cuba.

Thank you for the Atlantic gift article. One comment I want to make about it is this: The author quoted Ressa. “When I hear people ask if they should flee to some other country, some faraway land, I want to shake them. You want an escape plan? To where? If the United States of America falls, it’s the ball game.”

My question is why is this so? Europe is going to try to stand without the US, so is Canada.
