Trump's second term eviscerated regulatory autonomy. They even randomly fired Democratic commissioners.
This corruption WILL kill people and cause generational public harm, but it continues to receive less attention in the press than whatever brainfart Sam Altman has each morning

NEW: SCOTUS will hear arguments Monday on Trump’s attempt to fire the last Democratic FTC commissioner. A ruling for the president could dangerously expand his control over agencies regulating the economy, stock market, campaign finance and communications.

So they lampshaded this by saying the military DID find them but idk it doesn’t make sense. They can’t intentionally kill but they embarked on a mode of spreading their hive mind virus that killed a billion people? Instead of just sacrificing themselves and idk letting the lab rats go free?
Seems like the hive mind-ification could simply have proceeded voluntarily by kissing. But also the non hive minded would probably have just killed all the hive minds in that case.

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

We should be clear. SCOTUS justices who vote against birthright citizenship are enemies of the US Constitution & the United States of America.
The Supreme Court cannot “uphold the longstanding principle” or “strike down birthright citizenship.” The Supreme Court can follow the plain text of the constitution or declare itself in rebellion to the constitution. These are the only two options wrt birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment.
The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko
