Trump says Democrats’ video message to military is ‘seditious behavior’ punishable by death

President Donald Trump on Thursday accused half a dozen Democratic lawmakers of sedition “punishable by DEATH” after the lawmakers — all veterans of the armed services and intelligence community — called on U.S. military members to uphold the Constitution and defy “illegal orders.” The 90-second video was first posted early Tuesday from Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s X account. In it, the six lawmakers — Slotkin, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, and Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan — speak directly to U.S. […]

Former President Barack Obama slammed President Donald Trump‘s attempts to use the military in American cities, warning that America’s democracy is being “weakened deliberately.” “When you have a military that can direct force against their own people, that is inherently corrupting,” America’s first Black president said on WTF podcast, accusing his successor of politicizing the military. Since entering office for a second time, Trump has taken extraordinary steps to address what he has described as out-of-control crime in cities led by […]

‘It puts a target on our back’: Trump’s war on DEI and beards in military further ostracizes Black service members

The Trump administration’s war on DEI is having a chilling effect on Black military service members, as advocates warn it’s part of a broader objective to exclude Black Americans from every corner of the federal government. Last week, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered highly politicized speeches before the military’s top generals and admirals. They doubled down on their belief that diversity, equity, and inclusion policies lower the standard of so-called “fitness” and “preparedness” for the U.S. […]

Trump makes off-the-cuff remark about ‘n-word’ as he rails against ‘woke’ military policies

While delivering remarks to military leaders on Tuesday, President Donald Trump made an off-the-cuff remark about the n-word as he and Secretary Pete Hegseth urged the nation’s top generals and admirals that the newly renamed Department of War is putting an end to “woke” policies. During his more than an hour-long speech before hundreds of top military officers, Trump touted that he “rebuilt” the U.S. nuclear weapons arsenal. “We have to hope we never have to use it, because the […]

After Iran strikes, Senate rejects resolution to block Trump from military action without congressional approval

Democratic efforts in the Senate to prevent President Donald Trump from further escalating with Iran fell short Friday, with Republicans blocking a resolution that marked Congress’ first attempt to reassert its war powers following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The resolution, authored by Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, aimed to affirm that Trump should seek authorization from Congress before launching more military action against Iran. Asked Friday if he would bomb Iranian nuclear sites again if he deemed necessary, Trump said, “Sure, […]

Critics say Trump’s military takeover in LA is a ‘major distraction’ from his unpopular bill

In the days preceding President Donald Trump‘s decision to send the National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles amid mass protests against his administration’s immigration raids, much of the national political conversation focused on Trump’s very nasty “breakup” with billionaire Elon Musk and his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which threatens to cut more than $1 trillion in health care, food assistance and education. Some critics of the president believe the chaos in Los Angeles, inflamed by the presence of […]

Trump’s military deployment in LA seen as dangerous prelude for majority Black and Brown cities

The White House remains defiant after President Donald Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of U.S. Marines in Los Angeles amid protests against Trump’s mass immigration raids. The escalation of military use on civilians presents serious concerns about constitutionally protected free speech and public safety, particularly in cities that are predominantly Black and Brown. The president has not ruled out invoking the Insurrection Act, a wartime law that gives the president narrow authority to use the military […]
