Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Not to be lost in the news of the 90 day freeze…is the fact that Mike Johnson and House Republicans voted to take away their own power (which Congress has) in the future to stop Trump from putting in place crazy tariffs in the future. This is the 2nd time this year they have done this.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Trump is stupid, but that's not why he's destroying the U.S. He's taking orders from Putin, who owns him, cheated for him, and kept him out of prison. To get Ukraine and now Greenland, Alaska, and Canada. Arctic passage and oil.

Of couse agent orange Trump works for Putin, I'm staggered more haven't realised this, it's as clear as day. Ukraine, Europe, Canada, Greenland & others need to realise this & fundamentally change their approach to dealing with the backstabbing USA. Didn't they learn anything from the tariffs?
