Howell was referring to Trump punishing a law firm that a president, without evidence of the firm violating a law, ordered the government to cancel their contracts and to block their employees from entering government buildings, interacting with government officials, or being hired for government jobs.

The game being played in American politics right now is rigged in favor of the wealthy titans: corporations, billionaire donors and high tech leaders. The wealthy titans want only three things: They don’t want to pay taxes. They don’t want any regulation. They want a strong military to protect their interests at home and abroad. Wealthy titans get these three things rapidly and efficiently when democracy is eliminated and replaced by an authoritarian government. One note of caution: A lot of dust is being kicked up in the wake of our declining democracy. Don’t let the dust impair your vision. Keep your eyes open and read Dust in Our Eyes. Barbara Lloyd McMichael’s book review offers us a one-way ticket to the world of how the ultra-rich amass a tax-free fortune.

April 11, 2025

President Donald Trump is openly transforming the Department of Justice's primary role of advising presidents on the limits of their authority under the Constitution into one that justifies and advocates his MAGA philosophy. This overlooks the reality that the public does not adhere to a single philosophy other than preserving their rights as guaranteed by our constitutional government.
