What we are witnessing is a coup -- the hostile takeover of our government by a rogue president/dictator wannabe and the unelected billionaire who bought and paid for his election, aided and abetted by a compliant Republican-led Congress willing to abdicate its constitutional responsibilities.
In the 2 1/2 weeks since the inauguration, the orange felon has issued a barrage of outrageous lies and illegal, unconstitutional, and reckless executive orders, illegally fired 17 independent Inspectors General, along with top military, FBI and DOJ officials, attempted to oust millions of federal employees, and, in the largest security breach in history, gave a handful of unvetted, extra-governmental “Department” of Government Efficiency (DOGE) engineers unauthorized access to the OMB, Treasury Department, NOAA, USAID, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, threatening the sensitive data of every American.

Americans, regardless of party, should be outraged, marching in the streets, and demanding that Congress and the courts put an end to this madness.
