US judges who have increasingly rebuked the Trump administration’s harsh deportation agenda and other Maga policies are facing intense verbal assaults from the president and his allies, which seem to be spurring other dangerous threats against judges, say legal experts and former judges.

The Trump administration’s escalating fight with the courts has come as more than 200 lawsuits have challenged executive orders and policies on multiple issues including immigrant deportations, penalizing law firms with links to political foes, agency spending and workforce cuts, and other matters.

Just your standard fascist terrorism, identical to 1930's Nazi Germany.

Things are going to need to be done. The person put in charge of Democracy has no respect for Democracy, and thinks it's amusing that he's building a blind army that also doesn't care.

Project2025 was clear as day. Imagined, researched, edited, submitted for approval, and finally...published. Anyone could access it, read it, and judge it. But maga can't read, nor think for themselves.
