If Pam Bondi the
United States Attorney General continued deportation flights despite the judge’s order, she needs to be found in contempt of court and jailed immediately! Nobody is above the law. Judges, need to start taking action, and not just a slap on the hands. #PamBondi #contemptcourt

Trump's inaugural speech was not just dystopian, it was a declaration of war against the government he is now tasked with leading.

There were a few tells today:

1. Russian state media in the oval and White House press being told it was an accident. People don’t accidentally get in the oval.

2. The group dynamic. Trump needed backup.

3. The full-court press in the media afterward to define Zelensky as disrespectful.

Trump wasted no time. Hours after berating Zelenskyy, he axed USAID’s Ukraine energy aid, killing a program restoring the power grid after Russian attacks. Millions in aid—gone. U.S. staff cut from 64 to 8. And it’s bigger than Ukraine—90% of global foreign aid contracts just vanished.

The GOP propaganda machine didn’t just radicalize its base—it fully captured its own leadership.

Now, in response to imaginary grievances, it’s gutting American state capacity and global standing, all while empowering real adversaries.

The real risk of WWIII is that fantasies will lead us there.
