You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Trump has dismissed the head of the National Archives.

The agency played a key role in the criminal classified documents case, but Colleen Shogan became national archivist in May 2023 and wasn't even leading the agency at the time of its involvement.

Harsh! Imagine working in the federal government under Musk—where loyalty is tested, cruelty is rewarded, and nobody is safe.

Trump has essentially replaced Congress with Elon Musk.

Trump has no authority to do this, but the Republicans who control Congress seems cool with it

The last bulwark is the courts, who top administration officials (including Vice President Vance) are suggesting Trump could and should ignore

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours.

Christian nationalism isn’t a Black problem.
It isn’t a Muslin problem.
It’s not an Atheist problem,
