“There was no legal justification for the Trump Administration’s military escalation in the Caribbean,” Omar said in a statement to The Intercept. “It was not self-defense or authorized by Congress. That is why I am introducing a resolution to terminate hostilities against Venezuela, and against the transnational criminal organizations that the Administration has designated as terrorists this year. All of us should agree that the separation of powers is crucial to our democracy, and that only Congress has the power to declare war.”

The case, Doe v. Department of Defense, was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland by GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law) and the National Center for LGBTQ Rights (NCLR) on behalf of three servicemembers and their families.

President Donald Trump and some members of his cabinet went to Joe’s Seafood near the White House on Tuesday night, only to be interrupted by protesters. Flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Trump exited the presidential limo outside the eatery and was greeted with boos and at least one “F*ck you” from onlookers.

Navy Medicine Fast Facts: POW/MIA RECOGNITION DAY

Since he took office for a second time, President Donald Trump has sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles and Washington, named other cities run by Democrats as targets for military intervention, deployed masked and unidentifiable agents in immigration raids, explicitly threatened the city of Chicago with a military invasion and used government power to persecute his perceived political enemies. But many journalistic outlets have yet to call him what he is – an authoritarian.

“Not that I don’t have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States,” he said at a Cabinet meeting in August, when he was asked about the prospect of Chicagoans engaging in nonviolent resistance against the US military.

New CME Available: Enhance Skills in Sarcopenia Screening Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, most commonly associated with aging, but also linked to immobility and other factors. Symptoms include muscle weakness, loss of stamina, slower walking, balance issues, and trouble with daily activities. It increases the risk of falls, fractures, frailty, and reduced independence. While resistance exercise and proper nutrition, particularly adequate protein and vitamin D, are key to prevention and management, medical consultation is recommended for personalized advice and treatment strategies.

Trump Says It’s Not His Signature. But Personal Letters Look Similar

Trump’s Epstein letter denial just suffered another huge blow

Through an executive order, trump has renamed the Department of Defense the Department of war. With that, Secretary of Defense will be called the Secretary of Wah or simply Waah Secretary Pete Hedgehog. Thank you for your attention to this matter...

He is most definitely is a clown... Defense Secretary Pete Hedgehog faced backlash after declaring the Pentagon had “absolute and complete authority” to bomb a suspected Venezuelan drug vessel, but then offering no legal basis to back up that claim about the Donald Trump-ordered deadly strike that killed 11 people. A reporter pressed Hegseth on Thursday: “What legal authority did the Pentagon invoke to strike that boat full of drug smugglers?”

The prosecutors continued: “This individual is also one of the employees identified in the Indictment, which alleges that she and two other identified employees facilitated the defendant’s trafficking of minors by, among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the defendant at his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida.”

This guy is sick... “I love the smell of deportations in the morning…” Trump posted. “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” in reference to Trump’s rebranding of the Department of Defense. Behind an AI-generated image of Trump as a key character in the movie is a depiction of Chicago burning with helicopters hovering over the city.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s department was forced into damage control after a top justice official was secretly recorded telling a date that the Epstein files would be manipulated to protect Republicans. Joseph Schnitt, an Acting Deputy Chief in the Department of Justice, was caught divulging the information by a woman he met on the Hinge dating app, not realizing she was an undercover operative for the O’Keefe Media Group.

For the second time in two days, Venezuela has flown military aircraft in the vicinity of the USS Jason Dunham in international waters near South America, multiple Defense Department officials confirmed to CBS News Friday, describing the action as turning into a "game of chicken." The aircraft, which one Defense Department official said were F-16 fighter jets, flew over the Dunham sometime overnight Thursday. It was unknown if the aircraft was armed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. has ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to a Puerto Rico airfield to conduct operations against drug cartels, two sources briefed on the matter said, in a move likely to further inflame tensions in the region. The advanced fighter jets will be added to an already bristling U.S. military presence in the southern Caribbean as President Donald Trump carries out a campaign pledge to crack down on groups he blames for funneling drugs into the United States.
