A reminder that ratified treaties are *the law* and a refusal to carry out a treaty obligation is a violation of law.
The North Atlantic Treaty was ratified on July 21, 1949, and has been part of U.S. law ever since.
If a presidential candidate were to indicate an intention or desire to unilaterally abrogate the treaty or fail to abide by it, it is the same as if he were to indicate his intention to commit assault or rob a bank.
Wow - the hits just keep on coming for TFG. His star witness just admitted to perjury in the Engoron case.

You got a guy who attacks our allies, found to be a rapist, praises our enemies, led an insurrection, told us a to inject bleach, added 8T in debt, ran every company he led into bankruptcy before he held office, is tape bragging about molesting women, was pals with Epstein, met his third wife at the Kit Kat Club, brags about taking cognitive exams, spread 9/11 conspiracies, posted over 600 QAnon memes in the past 18 months, and the media just treats this like this is normal?

Look at this. Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to consider the bipartisan border bill coming out of the Senate.
So we have Democrats actually trying to solve the problem and the Republicans are blocking all progress.
None of this is Biden’s fault. It’s on the Republicans.

Another insurrection is occurring in Texas - by its Governor.

Just tired of the GOP's basic tactics:
GOP Breaks it, points fingers at Dems for not fixing it.
GOP posits speculation and conjecture, demands Dems prove them wrong.
Of course, the Dems do it. Every freakin' time.
Same with personal interactions.
It's exhausting.

The House GOP is at the border, clutching their pearls and bemoaning its state...
After voting against multiple border security funding and personnel bills. Notably, they apparently do not understand the role of the HOUSE in ORIGINATING funding bills.
Or, based on their total production of legislation, they think actually legislating is secondary (or optional) to whining like a bunch of little bitches.
The normalization of Trump as a candidate for this nation's office is a rerun from past elections. I just cancelled my Washington Post subscription due to another puff piece written to discourage voters from taking part in this country's most important election ever. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Meet 18 women who shared heartbreaking pregnancy journeys in post-Roe world
In a monthslong investigation, 18 women from across 10 states shared their deeply personal stories, chronicling their heartbreaking journeys and how, in some cases, they were brought to the brink of death because they couldn't access timely care in their home states.
These are their stories.
