Kind of shocking that most of the media in the US - and the UK - don’t seem to have spotted what is going on, or at least aren’t taking it seriously.
To preserve democracy our Founders set up 3 separate branches of government – the Executive, the Legislature & the Judiciary.
Two are already corrupted. The last pillar standing is the Judiciary - the rule of Law. Trump is now intent on rendering it powerless so that he will have unfettered power

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Stopping something that could cure one of the deadliest bastard cancers is properly evil. I sat with a friend as she died of pancreatic cancer just days after she was diagnosed with it, everyone utterly shocked and devastated she'd gone from some vague back pain to dying within days.

This is hideous. And close to inexplicable unless Trump is doing what Putin tells him to.
SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.
