What is happening in our government right now, 2025, will certainly go down in the history books. That is if this current history isn’t erased. Again, I’m sick inside. I’m losing sleep worrying about our country. I am outraged. I ask Pete, “aren’t you upset?” He says that yes he is, but there is nothing we can do about it. That’s true, but I can’t separate or distance myself from it.

Donald Trump is dismanteling our democracy on so many different levels.

The courts:

• It has already been ruled by the Supreme Court that the president cannot be charged with any crimes while in office.
• In his “Big Beautiful Bill,” there was an added benefit that affects only him. It says that he, the president, does not have to answer to any injunctions or orders from any federal judges. {He has already done this by not following orders to stop the original plane heading to Venezuela and again by not returning an immigrant back to the United States}.
• He is bullying and threatening major law firms, (any who worked on cases against him) with shutting them down if they don’t do what he wants. They are all cowtowing to him for fear of going out of business or being blacklisted.
• If you are a judge or lawyer who doesn’t, “line up with his administrations goals,” you will probably lose your job.

Education:

• Removing books from school libraries
• Put an end to teaching black history
• Dismantled The Department of Education, leaving states to rule on what is taught in schools
• Threatening and bullying colleges to adapt to his rulings on education or lose funding. Some have cowtowed to him, feeling that they can’t afford not to. Harvard is fighting him in court.
• Stop funding for early education programs or what he says, “anything that caters to DEI, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” Wikipedia defination: “DEI are organizational frameworks that seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people.” This includes but is not limited to any disability status.Health

Health:

• Took us out of The World Health Organization
• Made Robert F. Kennedy, Jr the US Secretary of Health and Human Services. A man known for his false conspiracy theories and an anti-vacination belief. Has no proof of either and is not a doctor or qualified in any way to make health decisions. By the way, the Measles have made a comeback and they had previously been eradicated in our country.

Some other things he has done, He’s only been president since January:

• Cut funding and laid off people from FEMA and USAID.
• His huge tarriffs will cost citizens major price increases. Stock Market roller coaster, TACO man.
• He stopped aid to Ukraine
• Accepted a luxury jet from Qatar, a country he previously insisted harbored terrorists
• Making personal business deals fron Saudi Arabia and from his personal Bitcoin company under the guise of “making deals to benefit The United States.”
• Filled his cabinet with an unqualified who’ s who list of Fox News Reporters/Pundits
• Has pardoned convicted (by a jury) felons. Rich people who supported him with millions of dollars.
• Has said repeatedly that he will seek another term, saying there are ways to get around the constitution.

The worst of it all is that nobody is doing anything to stop him
