I want to know what will be done to hold both Trump and the National Park Service accountable for disobeying court orders and destroying historic trees. I am so angry about this - people need to face consequences.

threats of political violence from Trump, specifically this is in large part the fault of one man, who enjoys cowing both his opponents and his own party by reminding them that his supporters will go after him if they dare to defy him

In August, Trump purchased between $1m and $5m in SpaceX bonds. Two days later, he signed a memorandum setting out a new policy pledging US government support for space transportation companies: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt days before unveiling space policy
The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by his administration’s actions — and led by presidential ally Elon Musk.

Trump making a deal with Putin while demanding that Ukraine select a new president is analogous to FDR making a deal with Hitler in 1940 and demanding that England get rid of Churchill and select a new Prime Minister.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. ICE’s unchecked power won’t rein itself in. If we want real oversight, accountability, and an end to intimidation tactics that target vulnerable communities, we have to demand it—loudly and publicly. Abolish ICE.
