If you start by sanctioning lawyers simply because they represent clients with whom you disagree
Then progress to defying Supreme Court orders-while absurdly claiming those decisions SUPPORT your position
It's only a matter of time before you begin arresting judges
This is fascism-pure and simple

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation
"It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.
But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.
That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

The more people say “a woman’s worth is in marrying young and having children” the more I’m grateful for the example of Jane Austen, who turned down a proposal of marriage so she could keep writing and whose six novels are an enduring testament to all a woman is capable of doing.
