Already, lower courts have found President Trump's removal of Democratic members of independent agencies to be unlawful. The Trump administration has appealed.

do us a favor @npr.org please stop watering down what the Trump administration is doing to America Don't be like Fox News CNN and all the others you all got to remember 4 years from now things will go back to the way they were and we all will remember what the news stations did during this time
When is everybody gonna wake up and realize that he doesn’t give two shits about the judicial system? Courts are not going to stop him. He needs to be impeached and removed from office permanently along with all his cronies. #arrestthepresident #arrestedolfmuskalini
None of this is normal.
And nobody in journalism wants to attribute the demolition of very important agencies, the firing of extremely qualified people — and the effort to consolidate all of the power under Trump/Elon — as being related to Project 2025 and also inspired by Viktor Orban & Putin.
If I rub the lamp and the genie pops up and gives me 3 wishes, number one: Don’t put rich folks in charge of the government. I am saving the other two for Democrats first and second. Here I am talking about cajones. They need two of them.
So when the President of the United States ignores the law and the courts, he is essentially telling people, “If you’re a big enough asshole and bully everybody, then you can intimidate the majority of the people into ignoring reason and break the law. Hope the courts smack him down!
Every single person who voted for Trump betrayed the country. No Republican should ever be allowed to claim that they are patriotic or believe in the values of the Constitution. They should be openly mocked and shunned by people who support democracy and oppose authoritarianism.

Trump admin: "no U"
Nuke DC between October and June (just to be certain). Let's start over.

You have a dictator.
No president should be able to even pretend to be an Emporer or a Monarch.
