Prepare For The Storm
A Nation in Crisis: From Constitutional Showdowns to Nuclear Negligence, the Week That Shook America
What a Week It’s Been! I was hoping to send this newsletter infrequently, but at the rate the USA is collapsing, it probably needs to be broadcast weekly.
The Constitutional Crisis Is Here
The U.S. has officially entered a constitutional crisis, with Trump and his Attorney General declaring:
"Trump signed more executive orders, including one that ‘reestablishes the long-standing norm that only the president or the attorney general can speak for the United States when stating an opinion as to what the law is,’" Scharf said.

Newsflash: This is NOT the norm. Everything Trump is doing is a smash-and-grab, and by the time everyday Americans come to their senses, our country may be unrecognizable.
From the ‘GOP Are Fascist’ Files
Rep. Andrew Clyne isn’t happy that Judge John McConnell told King Trump to unfreeze federal funding. Why? Probably because he wants to hitch a ride on the Trump Train. Now, he’s pushing for impeachment.
Judge John McConnell Jr. faces impeachment for obstructing Trump
— Newsweek: A Republican member of the House has issued articles of impeachment against the federal judge who blocked Trump’s funding freeze.

"Representative Andrew Clyne, a Republican, has announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he is drafting articles of impeachment, accusing the judge of being a ‘partisan activist.’"
This Representative needs to be removed from office. Georgia, do better.
National Parks Are in Crisis
My beloved National Park System is under attack. I urge you to resist the urge to rush to see them before they get sold off to the highest bidder—but I understand if you want to see them before they’re trampled to death.
‘Honestly terrifying’: Yosemite National Park is in chaos
— The Trump administration is derailing decades of conservation efforts in California’s most beloved park.

While this article focuses on Yosemite, the entire park system is under threat.
"I’ve never seen anything like this in my 55 years," says Beth Pratt, a regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation. "Just wanting to gut the Park Service? I don’t understand it."
If you plan to visit a National Park this year, first check if it’s even open—and tread lightly.
We’ve Become the Baddies
This is proposed ethnic cleansing, plain and simple. We’ve become the baddies.
Trump Says Palestinians Will Not Be Allowed to Return to Gaza Under His Proposal
— President Trump, speaking to Fox News, reiterated his plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip and said its population would be resettled in a ‘permanent place’ elsewhere.
"Trump’s notion that the U.S. take over Gaza and resettle its population has drawn widespread international condemnation, with some critics likening it to ethnic cleansing. The forced deportation or transfer of a civilian population is a violation of international law and a war crime, according to experts."
From the ‘Leopards Are Eating Our Faces’ Files
Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp just got "Trumped." After backing Trump in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s historic devastation, Trump is now leaving him high and dry.
President Donald Trump’s administration has denied Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s request to give local governments more time to apply for federal disaster assistance.
Hurricane Helene, which struck the Southeast last September, was one of the most destructive and deadly tropical storms in U.S. history, responsible for at least 219 deaths and almost $80 billion in damages.

Who’s Watching the Nukes?
There’s a lot to be nervous about regarding the Mad King’s actions, but this is particularly frightening.
US government seeks to rehire recently fired nuclear workers
— It is having problems contacting people who were fired in Trump’s blitz to shrink the federal workforce.
More than 300 National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) staff were let go, according to reports. The NNSA oversees our nuclear arsenal—whether you support nukes or not, this is critical to preventing us from accidentally blowing ourselves up in a ball of fire.
The incompetence of Musk and DOGE is staggering. When they realized their error, they tried to hire them back but couldn’t contact them—because they terminated all their emails.
