Donald Trump did the same thing to the Constitution's Wall of Separation Between Church and State.

Legal experts are sounding the alarm on a shocking federal appeals court ruling that all but permitted President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon. They warn that, if upheld, the order would give Trump unbridled power to use the military domestically

This revenge working group apparently targets mainly members of Trump's own prior administration. Trump once shared a podium with Anthony Fauci and boasted about his ratings; now Fauci is an enemy. The current working group members probably are its future targets.

I keep pointing out that by lowering the bar for prosecuting former FBI Directors, Kash signed his own arrest warrant, but under Trump, not AOC or whoever.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Step 1 of the plan:

Turn the justice system into a political witch hunt operation that punishes critics for free speech and immunizes loyalists for actual criminality.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

“We aren’t on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it… Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever. But it’s not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.”

I went to the law school of Law & Order, with advanced studies at Law & Order Criminal Intent and, golly, I would do better filings and do far few stupid things.

Her tone sounds just like trump and Roy Cohen. Bluster but no facts or info.

UPDATE: After facing immense legal pressure from our plaintiffs, USCIS is walking back parts of its policy to add a new $100,000 fee on H1-B visa petitions.

This is a win for workers in America and a step in our case toward striking down this harmful “Innovation Ban” in its entirety.
BREAKING: We’re suing to stop President Trump’s latest anti-immigration stunt that slapped a $100,000 price tag on every H-1B visa application.

This innovation ban has thrown U.S. employers that rely on H-1B to hire engineers, teachers, and doctors into chaos. This abuse of power must stop.

So.

Trump posts AI video in which he shits on America

Now, Trump tears down part of the White House after promising not to, to make room for one of his tasteless, ugly, gaudy, badly-built white trash crapshacks

Those of us who study the Theo Bros have long suspected a financial connection between them & the Tech Bros, but were unable to find it. Forbes just did. The connection is thru Marc Andreessen (who advises DOGE & is involved w/ Network States) & New Founding (led by Nate Fischer & Josh Abbottoy). 1/
Sure seems the Times is all in on protecting the conservative oligarchy.

8/ The NYT also omitted Andreessen Horowitz’s ties to New Founding, another major and bizarre omission. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

Constitution: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises... To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations." If Congress would assert its power--but Thune and Johnson won't let it.

It would be nice if the US had a system of government that didn’t allow the president to arbitrarily tariff whoever he wanted, except we very explicitly do, and since no one seems to care or react, then I guess the rules of our government no longer exist
Trump says he's imposing new tariffs on Colombia but won't say what the rate will be
