Supreme Court (May 2025): the president has authority to fire any executive branch employee, but not the Fed. Trump: fires a fed member SCOTUS: he can fire them too

The American people have a tremendous responsibility to maintain the Constitution, which you have violated nearly continuously since your second week in office, and the rule of law, which you have trampled. At minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence…

Evidence that Trump is a fool: He thinks he can pick a fight with a black woman and somehow it will be easier than going after a white man or woman. Seriously?!?! It’s not black women licking his boots or cowering in the corner.

Terms like torment, persecution, molestation, threats, insults, slurs, and persistent criticism, can be used in various contexts to describe situations. SUE!
