• The pressure is mounting: 50 members of Congress are now calling for Donald Trump to be removed using the 25th Amendment — a dramatic escalation in Washington.

    The rarely used provision allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unable to carry out the duties of the office, temporarily transferring power.

    What was once a fringe idea is now moving into the mainstream of political debate, as concerns over leadership, decision-making, and constitutional limits continue to intensify.

  • Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling is raising concerns that some U.S. military commanders may be preparing to refuse unlawful orders if they believe they violate the Constitution.

    Hertling emphasized a foundational principle of the military: service members are obligated to disobey illegal orders, reinforcing that their oath is to the Constitution — not to any individual leader.

    His warning comes at a moment of heightened tension, fueling debate over the limits of presidential authority and the role of the military in safeguarding democratic norms.
