It doesn't seem real that all this is happening, here, in the U.S.A. I've read this scene. It's the first chapter in Atwood's _The Handmaid's Tale_.
Will the next scene be out of Collins's _Mockingjay _?

"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

And here’s what gets a boost:
- Defense: +13% ($113 billion more)
- Homeland Security: +65% (+$42 billion)
Everything from science, housing, health, and the environment slashed, while the military-industrial complex cashes in.

This is an unelected oil executive now calling the shots for America’s public lands. No Senate vote. No accountability. Just a signature and the quiet handoff of power to Musk’s inner circle. This is what authoritarianism looks like, buried in bureaucracy.

But under Burgum’s order, Hassen has the power to fire employees, make funding decisions, set policy, and approve or deny programs without needing the Secretary’s sign-off. He’s already reviewing all grants and contracts over $50,000.
