We’ve seen enough pull-ups from Hegseth and RFK Jr. Just make the skies safer by hiring more air traffic controllers and hold the damn airlines accountable instead of letting them off the hook.

If your gut reaction lately has been, “Trump can’t do that...right?” you’re not alone. A closer look at the Constitution helps clarify what’s really at stake under Trump 2.0.

Friday, DOJ arrested a state judge in Wisconsin. Did she really commit a crime or is something else at work here?
