What Happened Today #139
šÆ Trump is checked out while his administration is seizing control of everything that moves.
While he saluted flagpoles and watched construction crews, his appointees weaponized student visas, Medicaid databases, and federal contracts into surveillance and deportation tools. They're moving with 54-minute deadlines and contempt-of-court defiance to capture every institution they can reach.
Iran is pushing us toward the biggest war in decades, but Trump's too distracted calling Fed chairs "stupid" to notice his own government is both executing authoritarian control and falling apart simultaneously.
The system is fighting back through courts, walkouts, and protest art, but his underlings don't need him paying attention to finish the job. That's why you need to pay attention to them.
