This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re, you know, drinking soy lattes or whatever.

But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away..”

These “Freedom Cities” will be the prototypes for the #NetworkState. Silicon Valley #oligarchs including Peter #Thiel, who funded much of #MAGA and #JDVance, was advocating “Seasteading” but no one bit. This is their solution.

Apparently, it’s even worse than it seems. While credible news sources like AP and Reuters were barred, “somehow” Russian state propaganda machine TASS was granted access. This in addition to MTG’s bf cosplaying as a reporter and asking about suits.

This new EO is a doozy, clearly written to test the constitutionality of independent agencies at the SCt. It purports to effectively bring all independent agencies - including the Fed Election Cmsn and the Fed (in part) under presidential control. Irreconcilable w/existing law full stop. /1
ATTN: Since the White House only posted the Fact Sheet of his ~only the president and AG can say what the law is~ EO, I moved the email of the actual EO, which was sent to the press list from the Office of Communications, into a PDF and posted it.
NEW: Here is Trump's executive order purporting to end the independence of multi-member head independent agencies. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Our coup got coupier. Our authoritarianism got more authoritarian. And of course this is stupidity as a battering ram against what is legal and constitutional, because they weaponize stupidity.
If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this.

Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.”

What?!
