Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring).
Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

“At least Russia has elections”
Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.
If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.
