"* A mass shooting, this one in New Hampshire-the victims of which Trump ignored, busy as he was preparing for his rally Sunday in Arizona to commemorate the life of Charlie Kirk * The resignation of Erik Siebert, the principled federal prosecutor who refused to bow to Trump's dictate that he find something, anything, for which to prosecute New York Attorney General Leticia James (Trump's response was petty even by his standards: "He didn't quit. I fired him!")"
"* The arbitrary overnight imposition of a $100,000 per year fee on H1B visa recipients-a change that Trump has illegally implemented without congressional input, that threatens to tank many of the high-tech companies that recently made bargain-with-the-devil deals with the president, and that will scramble the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in this country and overseas"
"But a few hours later, the headlines had gone from being simply alarming to full-blown totalitarian. Before I'd finished my dessert, The New York Times and other major outlets published stories saying that Trump was demanding that Attorney General Pam Bondi immediately prosecute James, former FBI director James Comey, and US Senator Adam Schiff. Simultaneously donning the garb of detective, prosecutor, jury, and judge, Trump announced that all three were "guilt"
Early Saturday evening included a mass shooting in New Hampshire whose victims were ignored while Trump prepared for a rally in Arizona. Erik Siebert resigned after refusing Trump's order to find grounds to prosecute New York Attorney General Leticia James. The administration imposed an arbitrary $100,000 per year fee on H1B visa holders without congressional authorization, threatening tech companies and uprooting hundreds of thousands of lives. FCC chair Brendan Carr threatened ABC over Charlie Kirk coverage, implying suspension or license investigation. Later, Trump demanded Attorney General Pam Bondi immediately prosecute James, James Comey, and Adam Schiff and proclaimed them guilty while acting as investigator, prosecutor, jury, and judge.
