I did look at the site. One thing that struck me, was nowhere was there mention of 'peaceful' resistance. This makes it seem somewhat 'militant', which might not end well. Nevertheless, it is good that you work against that which you oppose.

The billionaire class stands in solidarity as Trump disbands a task force tasked with enforcing sanctions and assets seizures against Russian oligarchs sanctioned after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Billionaires and oligarchs are globalists always looking out for one another while trying to convince the poor that other poor people are their enemies.

Now Trump is going after the media.

Trump Orders All Media Contracts Canceled

The White House has directed the General Services Administration to terminate “every single media contract” expensed by the agency, Axios reports.

Then again, isn't this a first amendment issue? So Trump is probably wanting to control the media and only give access through truth social and twitter? I don't see this move going down well with those that control the networks.

Nice, so he is also closing both his and Musks social media platform OR removes himself & Musk? Awesome!

[matthewfarmery]

I;m sure twitter will be the exception, unless he wants to be on Musk's bad side

It seems some courts are trying to fight back against Trump,

" A federal judge in Seattle on Thursday blasted President Donald Trump’s commitment to the rule of law, saying he is trampling the Constitution to pursue “political or personal gain.”

"U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour offered his commentary while becoming the second federal judge in two days to issue a nationwide injunction that blocks the Trump administration from moving forward on an executive order aimed at curbing birthright citizenship."

"It has become ever more apparent that, to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals. The rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain,” Coughenour said. “Nevertheless, in this courtroom, and under my watch, the rule of law is a bright beacon which I intend to follow.”

It's sad however, that it's still taking too long for things to side with the country and not the dictator. But it more apparent, that Trump is thinking he is well and truly above the law and will do as he damn well pleases.

Nice, step one in aiding Russia

Thought as much

Elon Musk Targets Social Security Next

Semafor: “The Social Security Administration is an upcoming focus of the Department of Government Efficiency, a source with knowledge of its work told Semafor, and one person involved in DOGE is currently preparing to work with the agency that provides benefits to the elderly and disabled.”

“Led by Musk and a group of young engineers, DOGE is migrating around the government in search of cuts with an intensity that has demoralized federal workers and become a defining early mark of Donald Trump’s second term.”

What could go wrong? Musk chopping SS for the elderly? If you think they will cut costs the easy way, then you might be in for a rough ride. I have a feeling, the changes will be extreme. The problem I see is, Trump might just give the green light to shut off SS for good, we know he is mad, and this is even possible that Musk will do his bidding. then on top of that VA as well.

House Democrats are denied entrance to the department of education. While media is not yet reporting it, in some of the videos you can spot security guards wearing insignia of private military contractor Triple Canopy among the people blocking access. The security guards did not answer questions about who they were working for on what authority they were there.

It's kind of hilarious to demand peaceful resistance while a dictator rampages through the country. But don't you worry, so far the resistance "plays by the book" in order to make it hard for said dictator to crack down on them.

Trump is just flaunting his corruption now. Only a matter of time.

Things are going to get messy.

Trump to Announce ‘Reciprocal’ Tariffs for Every Country

“President Donald Trump on Friday said he would be announcing tariffs next week that match the duties imposed by other countries, in an apparent shift from his previous threat to impose an across-the-board tariff on all imports from across the world,” Politico reports.

Said Trump: “They charge us, we charge them. It’s the same thing, and I seem to be going in that line as opposed to a flat fee tariff.”

So price hikes across the board. so much for his promises for bringing down eggs.

[chew-ie]

RE egg: I know it isn't that funny - but I've to confess I giggled when reading about that egg truck being stolen.

[matthewfarmery]

I must admit I was giggling, but what do you do with that many eggs? Clearly someone is desperate to have scrambled eggs on toast!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been told to seize working, employees are to remain home. The CFPB safeguards consumers from predatory banks and other financial mail practices. Its closure was publicly celebrated by CEOs from the crypto world. Banks will now have a much easier time taking advantage of their customers.

Trump Says Musk Found ‘Irregularities’ in Treasuries

“President Donald Trump suggested that Elon Musk’s government efficiency team has found irregularities in US treasuries, and intimated that may lead the US to disregard some,” Bloomberg reports.

“Trump didn’t elaborate on what might be disregarded.”

This could very well damage the US economy if true, or could be a lie to damage the economy. Even possible that this could threaten the deal regarding the debt ceiling? If America defaults, it would crash the dollar. I'm thinking, this could be sabotage. Then they could replace the dollar with crypto currency? So eiother way, Musk is messing with things that he should not be messing with.
