@sifill.bsky.socialI said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
2. Charging sitting congressman woman w/felony assault for attempting to observe ICE facility 3. Secy of Homeland Security reveals she has no idea what habeas corpus is; think it’s another presidential deportation power. 4. The Secy of State stands by his decision to revoke visas for students who
…write op-Ed’s the Admin doesn’t like. Threatens “we’ll do even more” with cold glee. 4. HHS Secy admits withholding block funding for child care & development. Yells at sitting Senator in hearing. Tells another he didn’t know funding for ALS had been cut. 5. Trump stuns Europeans on phone call..
…in which he appears not to know peace talks are happening. Shows obsequious support for Putin. 6. IRS Director nominee is confronted with evidence of agreement to provide favors to large donors. 7. DOJ opens investigation into Trump rival running for Mayor of NY, raising possible pressure campaign.
8. ProPublica report reveals Trump Admin applying “massive pressure” on African nations to compel deals for Elon Musk. 9. DOJ opens investigation into Chicago Mayor’s office based on Mayor’s stated pride in racial diversity of workforce. Threatens investigation of pop stars support for VP Harris.
10. House holds critical vote on spending bill (Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill) designed to cut SS and Medicaid, muscle educ institutions, cut taxes for the wealthy AT 1AM, so that most won’t see it. 11. Rep. Senators & Gov’s can’t get Trump to provide FEMA funding for folks devastated by tornadoes.
12. Trump’s memecoin dinner now confirmed to include mostly non-Americans.Secy of State says it’s not his business what foreigners are on the guest list. His priority is student visa holders who write strong-eds. 13. Trump & Hegseth affirm plan to build anti-ballistic missile “Golden Dome” for $175b
Every one of these is more important than the mental acuity of the former President. We are in trouble. Focus.
