Bazooka!
The European Commission could kick US goods and services out of Europe’s market, or apply tariffs to them. It can strip their intellectual property rights, block their investments and require reparations as a condition of readmittance to Europe’s market

When there is a federal government shutdown Congress should only be paid the federal minimum wage. Not one penny more, no back wages, no allowances for meals or housing.

No pay, not even the federal minimum wage, if not in DC and in session.

Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."

They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."

Trump’s “Antifa Roundtable” isn’t about policy—it’s prep work for power grabs. By inventing a phantom enemy, he sets the stage to justify crackdowns and sweeping authority. This isn’t security—it’s the blueprint for a hostile takeover.
