Trump wants to install prosecutors illegally and indefinitely without Senate approval.

From the Youtube page:

Larry Lazuli knows that nothing says “trust me” quite like a Republican press release. If the Republicans say that the missing Mitch McConnell is doing great and possibly not only recovering, but preparing for an Iron Man competition, who are we to question that? Larry naturally took the whole kerfuffle and turned it into a swingin’ tune. He hopes you dig it like a gravedigger.

The Rule of Lawless 0

In The Seattle Times, federal judges from the Western District of Washington state warn us the rule of law is in danger. They begin with a bit of history:

One of the Declaration’s grievances was that the King of England had taken control of the levers of justice: He not only wielded the power to appoint all judges but, as stated in another grievance, he also “made Judges dependent on his Will alone[.]” At the time, judges relied entirely on the King’s grace for their jobs and their compensation. Any judge who ruled against royal interests risked losing his livelihood (the first female judge would not be appointed until over a century later). The result? Capitulation and obedience.

Read the whole article to learn why they believe this to be relevant to today.

A “social” media “inflencer” claims that, because she dared to exercise her freedom of speech to criticize the Trump maladministration on her feeds, she was prevented from attending a speech by J. D. Vance.

Afterthought:

On the bright side, she didn’t have to listen to J. D. Vance.
