If courts uphold arguments based on the “unitary executive theory,” it would give Trump and future presidents unprecedented power to remove and replace any federal employee and impose their will on every decision in every agency.

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

The biggest problem—and Elonald's greatest advantage—is that almost no one knows this Constitutional Coup is happening now, let alone how illegal it is. That alone won't change anything, but it is the first step to taking this on.
Musk got to coup Twitter. He doesn't get to coup America.
The press is treating a 14-alarm fire like a controlled burn, and Democrats must change that.
If you’re reading this, you probably know that Elon Musk is now engaged in a coup inside the US governmen...

“Presidents are supposed to follow the law and honor their oaths…Not Donald Trump. He is an anti-president who does not uphold the law, and there is no telling where it will end.”
The Anti-President
I don’t want to be an alarmist—I try to avoid that—but as I’m writing this, it looks like we are in the middle of a five-alarm fire.

Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.
If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

The bishop asked for compassion and mercy. Apparently, the Christian nationalist speaker of the House would rather lie and bow to Trump than support compassion & mercy.
