This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

New, from me:
Trump just fired the head of the BLS, accusing her of rigging data.
The reality is that by shooting the messenger reporting on the negative effects of his economic policies, Trump pushed America further into banana republic territory.

For the first time in history, a world leader has been kicked out of the White House. It wasn’t a dictator, a monarch, a despot, or a brutal authoritarian. It was a democratically elected president fighting for western values and his nation’s sovereignty.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.
So much for "drain the swamp."

President Donald Trump’s move to fire federal inspectors general en masse in the middle of the night is an attack on oversight and accountability. In the face of a president who believes he is above the law, it is essential that inspectors general investigate abuses of power.

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.
