Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case.
But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

153. Living by the Ipse Dixit
A constitutional principle like the "unitary executive theory" isn't worth all that much if the Supreme Court can conjure new, unprincipled exceptions to it by simply asserting that they exist.

"Trump has been promising to release plans for “great” health care throughout his two presidential terms, going back to the very first days of his initial campaign." He hasn't managed it this time, either:
Trump’s ‘Great Healthcare Plan’ Is Not Great. It’s Not Even a Plan.
And this is not what it looks like when you’re serious about lawmaking.

We must understand the context for all this. Trump needs Hegseth to be in exactly the position he is in now in 2026, 2027, and 2028, as it is not clear that anyone but a committed white nationalist, Christofascist militant would help Trump with the martial law he intends.

President Trump said that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not give a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea in September.
Trump says Hegseth denied issuing order to kill boat crew
The president also said he would not have wanted a second strike on a boat allegedly carrying drugs, which occurred after U.S. forces realized the initial attack left two survivors, as The Post report...
