TRUMP CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS is here, IGNORING court orders
The Trump administration is openly defying a federal court order by refusing to reverse deportation flights, escalating its challenge to judicial authority. Legal experts warn this move undermines checks and balances, violates due process, and may breach international law. If courts cannot enforce rulings, then democracy will face a serious crisis. Trump is testing the limits and betting nothing will stop him.
Trump Press Secy TOTAL MELTDOWN, debunked HARD
Karoline Leavitt, Trump's press secretary, struggled through a briefing, deflecting questions and refusing to provide evidence for her claims. When asked about Biden’s pardons and Trump’s alleged withdrawal from a war crimes prosecution center, she told reporters to investigate themselves. Her unpreparedness and hostility toward the press reflect a broader effort to undermine accountability.
From yesterday’s show:
Right wing DOMINATING online media, DISASTER
A Media Matters study shows right-wing content dominates online, with 82% of the audience consuming conservative media. Right-wing narratives have spread into sports, comedy, and entertainment, while figures like Joe Rogan amplify far-right ideas. Conservatives actively support their media, unlike many on the left and this imbalance is shaping elections and political discourse.
From yesterday’s show:
He's COMING FOR US: Trump says media outlets "illegal"
Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on the press, claiming that critical media outlets like CNN and MSNBC are not just biased but illegal. Now, he is openly advocating for using the Justice Department to target adversarial media and lawyers who challenge him. This is a dangerous step toward authoritarianism, following a historical pattern of leaders weaponizing the government to crush dissent.
