At least one branch is standing up for democracy
1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is considering to give up the role of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe - a role that began with then-World War II hero and future president Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Trump admin considers giving up NATO command that has been American since Eisenhower

Can we start a chain #TrumpRegrets?
The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the country, just released a statement rescinding their endorsement of President Trump due to his pardoning of Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
Police union that endorsed Trump condemns Jan 6 pardons—"Dangerous message"
The Fraternal Order of Police union said those who assaulted officers during the 2021 Capitol riot should serve their full sentences.

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.
That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media.
