Henderson going back to doing Henderson things, and Walker remains a disaster. I wonder if they will appeal to the en banc court? They aren't likely to get an en banc hearing on this, but anything is possible in today's judiciary.

"I don't think anyone thought it would be this bad." Why? Why is anyone surprised at anything Trump or his administration is doing? There is literally nothing that this administration could do - up to and including declaring martial law and turning the military against our own citizens - that should surprise anyone. It's clear that the complacency in our society has been and is still enormous. "It can't happen here, we're America!" has been so prevalent in the thinking of Americans (and not just conservatives) for so long that many people simply can't or won't grasp or comprehend what is really happening. Fascism exists - it existed in the past and it exists in the present, and it is here and present in this administration. Period. And anyone who believes otherwise at this point is simply fooling themselves.

When they finish with the foreigners, they will be doing this to Americans who don't agree with dear leader, those who are gay, those who are not white enough...

Head of the FDA division that evaluates vaccines is out due to differences with RFK Jr, noting in his resignation that “it has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

“… The U.S. Naval Academy said it had ended its use of affirmative action in admissions, reversing a policy it previously defended as essential for diversity and national security, according to a federal court filing on Friday. And Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office has ordered the Naval Academy to identify books related to so-called diversity, equity and inclusion themes that are housed in the school’s Nimitz Library, and to remove them from circulation.
This week, according to a defense official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss policy decisions, Mr. Hegseth’s office became aware that the nation’s military service academies did not believe that President Trump’s Jan. 29 executive order to end “radical indoctrination” in kindergarten through 12th-grade classrooms applied to them, as they are colleges. The defense secretary’s office informed the Naval Academy that Mr. Hegseth’s intent was for the order to apply to the academies, and that the secretary expected compliance. …”
Yep, he pulled no punches in his resignation letter. This also follows David Wentworth’s departure from CDC last month- he was the respiratory disease (COVID/flu) director and played a key role in collaborations with WHO and selecting the antigens to be included in each year’s vaccines.

This is why I've previously stated my belief that any resistance movements will ultimately occur via burners, vpns, face to face, and encrypted communication.
This will become a repressive police state the moment musk, vought, miller, don, vance, patel, etc. decide to defy courts, which is likely to occur when they 1. think public support remains relatively high or 2. when public support absolutely tanks. Right now, they're in a liminal space.
Once they defy the courts a little, it's no large leap to outright sidelining the courts. I've stated previously that I think we'll see public and high profile violence against groups of Americans by the end of the summer, ~September. I suspect warm weather factors into their authoritarian plan. I see absolutely nothing to dissuade me of prior concerns, given the dozens of trial balloons they're floating, and pretext they've been laying for years with P2025.
