I love what you wrote. Very well written and definitely worth the read but, I want to see action. We need to do something. I live in Colorado and want to do something to stop this.
They want to strip it all down. So we need to strip THEM down! That means using all means at our disposal. I'm afraid civility is dead. You can't reason with people who want to kill you. I wish that it wasn't this way, but here we are.
Every bullet you listed is true and well-founded, and in many cases, gut-wrenching.
I would only suggest that the last line of every single paragraph you write should be:
“And…The Republicans Do Not Care!”
We are seeing the problems unfold in our country and in our personal lives.
But let us never forget that a quarter of our country still loves every move he makes. In every single case we must remind ourselves and anyone else that will listen, that
fortunately for ALL of us, it doesn't appear that Elon Musk, Russell Vought or the Prez is smart enough to capsize the ship we are all in. I'm grateful for those Article III judges who actually understand how the Constitution and federal law (including labor law) work.
Thank you, Olivia for your powerful, thoughtful, and well-versed voice. On these types of matters, you are the expert, and we need to heed your warning and do whatever we can to combat this sick movement that is tearing apart the fabric of our great nation.
For ten years, this fascist movement has been slowly gaining traction. Now, it is reaching fever-pitch.
A weak Democratic Party allowed this man to be re-elected, and an even weaker Republican Party has completely abandoned its purpose,
Core, and principles.
We have not faced something this evil and sordid in our history. The extent of the destruction is incalculable.
Thank you, Olivia for helping to provide perspective, truth, and insight.
What a wonderful breakdown of the consequences of destroying federal agencies. Most people really don't grok much of this at all, and our abysmal MSM isn't delving into any of this either. I'll be sharing this widely. Thanks so much for doing this, Olivia!
The country is still under attack! It is most definitely a coup! Where are the mission oriented collection of active and or former Congressional Members, Governors, active or former U.S. Attorneys, C.I.A. Clandestine Operatives, FBI Agents, Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Green Berets who are all on the side of Democracy, loyal to The Constitution who will take hold of Musk, his crew, seize any and all documents and devices in their possession and help them reassess their illegal mission in shackles while in custody! At the same time a similar collection of the same kind can gather SCOTUS together with the help from the Democracy and Constitution loyal three to persuade them to overturn their immunity decision and begin putting an end to this insanity. None of the actions of the current Executive is preserving, protecting or defending The Constitution, or is remotely plausibly within the scope of the Constitutional parameters of the Executive.
Spot on!!!! I totally agree with your assessment and comments. We need action from special operations including all the politicians that are willing to take a stand active or retired.
This article clearly shows how risky our life will become at so many levels. Is there an outbreak of measles in Florida? Shall we cancel our trip to Disney world? How safe is our flight to our destination? Are terrorist cells coming alive because no-one is watching in our country. This is so frightening. The Republicans put Trump before country. Democratics keep bringing a feather to a gun fight. This is awful.
We all witnessed the vicious attack on our Capitol on January 6th to take over our government. It was frightening. It's imprinted in our minds forever no matter how much they try to erase it.
What is being done now as Musk and his henchmen dismantle our government isn't physically violent but a lot more dangerous as many go about their business paying little or no attention to what they are doing each day to move us closer to an authoritarian government.
I hope we survive. I will continue to speak up. I love my imperfect and deeply flawed country.
Much of the research to address the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance has been funded by HHS - from proof-of-concept studies to clinical trials. Big pharma is no longer investing in discovering and developing new antibiotics which are less profitable than cancer, obesity, and other chronic diseases. Any cutbacks in government funding for antibiotic R&D will have devastating consequences for public health.
Thank you for this article. On point and terrifying. One way to take action is use the 5calls website or app. You can easily find your Reps phone # and call w scripts on topics you pick.

Agree 100%. Please suggest action plans in addition to speaking up.
