Othman Atta, executive director of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, stated, 'This is a man who came to the United States and kind of lived the American dream. And they are trying to tarnish his image. They're trying to target him.'

Democratic Senator Mark Kelly is fluent in insult, particularly when it comes to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: "unqualified," like "a 12-year-old playing army." In November, Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers-all of them military or intelligence veterans-released a video telling current service members, "Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders." President Donald Trump was predictably furious, writing on Truth Social, "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH."

One theory is that this is designed to put pressure on the Governor of Colorado to allow the pardon Trump attempted to go through???!!!

As the federal government shutdown drags on, the Trump administration has doubled down on a tactic of dubious legality that it has been pursuing since January: cancelling federal funding for already congressionally approved projects in blue cities and states. Back in the summer, the administration pulled $4 billion from the California high speed rail project. It followed up a month later by withdrawing another $175 million from the project.

Rather than restoring academic freedom, the Trump administration has tried to force private universities into accepting commissars to oversee whom they admit and what they teach. President Donald Trump decried the many civil and criminal cases against him and his supporters. Instead of ending lawfare, the president is publicly jawboning his attorney general into prosecuting his political antagonists, such as former FBI Director James Comey and New York State Attorney General Letitia James, even when the underlying evidence seems weak.

Revenge, retribution, accountability who cares? said Watters in response to the argument that President Donald Trump is using these charges as personal revenge against Comey for the FBI's investigation into potential ties between Russia and his 2016 presidential campaign. It's happening and I'm enjoying it. It is an eye for an eye, and I hope we win, continued Watters.

Democrats are blasting President Donald Trump's decision to yank former Vice President Kamala Harris's extended Secret Service protection as vindictive and an act of revenge. The former vice president lost her statutory six months of protection in July, but former President Joe Biden had quietly signed an order granting her another year of coverage, according to exclusive reporting from CNN.

"This is the first step towards accountability... the trauma, the separation from my wife, the birth of my first child that I was forced to miss."

Media Matters faces an ongoing campaign of retribution for exercising its First Amendment rights. For the third time, Media Matters must ask this Court to halt this 'government campaign of retaliation.'

Massie expressed outrage on social media about his invitation to the annual White House picnic being revoked, criticizing Trump's staff for their actions as 'low class.'

Cybersecurity professionals and the infosec community must actively protect democracy and elections against political targeting by administrations aiming to undermine their integrity.
