The point is this: if Trump wins his assault on our laws, no laws will matter, except insofar as they are weaponized against the poorest and most vulnerable members of society. We risk an anti moral regression into lawlessness.
This is way beyond culture wars;
this is abuse of all of US. 🇺🇸

The One-Mile Rule: Texas’ Unwritten & Arbitrary Policy Protects Big Polluters from Citizen Complaints The DOJ & EPA must step up, mitigating the needs to be prioritized: The policy has been denounced in lawsuits & petitions, but the TCEQ denies that it exists. Dozens of TX environmental groups have argued in petitions, now before the EPA, that TCEQ unlawfully restricts access to judicial review. insideclimatenews.org/news/300

GOP SCJ's truly believe they're above the law, & possibly 'chosen by God': Justice Alito tells the WSJ that Congress has no business policing SCOTUS. "I know this is a con­tro­ver­sial view, but I’m will­ing to say it... No pro­vi­sion in the Con­sti­tu­tion gives them the au­thor­ity to reg­u­late the Supreme Court—pe­riod." wsj.com/articles/samuel-alito-

The has angered (& many are armed bc Rs advocated it) many citizens to distrust the govt. Paying taxes is the law, but many Republicans have convinced taxpayers that the IRS shouldn't ensure that all Americans pay their fair share or audit them. The IRS' new policy is evidence of the danger of the🔫culture bc many ppl feel they're above the law (as do Republicans). IRS halts most unannounced visits to taxpayers, citing safety concerns🚨. cnbc.com/2023/07/24/irs-halts-

When the CSPOA is too extreme for Texas: Bans CSPOA training: In a 5/25 memo by TCOLE: trainings taught by CSPOA in TX provide no “meaningful authority” for the antigovt. grp’s “proposed legal theories.” Losing TX as a training ground is a blow to Mack & CSPOA. Mack has previously claimed that TX is where their support is growing the fastest. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2023/0

The 'REINS Act' bill won't become law, but -highlights the danger HSE Republicans pose: Seeks to increase congressional authority over the fed rulemaking process -usurp power from govt agencies in favor of elevating elected lawmakers. Although, little chance of being considered by the Sen. -would rep. a major shift in the fed rulemaking process & strip significant authority from the exec-it could undercut the influence of agency experts & outside advocates-. news.yahoo.com/house-gop-votes.

Abbott’s tweet is the clearest example of the & the double standard the majority of Republican elected officials use to justify their viewpoint. weaponized the DOJ throughout his presidency. President Biden upholds the law. Governor Abbott was the Texas AG -he knows that is a traitor. The media must call out Republicans for their lies: “It’s an ugly day for democracy when a sitting US President running for re-election uses the DOJ to indict and arrest his leading opponent.”

Youngkin is a likely pres. cand. He's not a moderate: "These charges are unprecedented & it’s a sad day for our country, esp. in light of what clearly appears to be a 2-tiered justice system where some are selectively prosecuted, & others are not. Parents in VA know firsthand what it’s like to be targeted by pol motivated actions. Regardless of your party, this undermines faith in our judicial system at exactly the time when we should be working to restore that trust." Another member

Instead of commending the rule of law, integrity of the DOJ & INDEP SC... GOP pres. candidates tweeted -most called the indictment 'weaponization' & pol motivated by Biden: 10 or so other Rs in the race initially met news with silence, tepid criticism of the DOJ or even praise of Trump. Perry Johnson, a candidate who's claimed he was 1st to pledge he'd pardon Trump, trolled DeSantis -asked: “Would you pardon Trump, if you were elected Pres?” -RD didn't reply. themessenger.com/politics/trum

The tattered notion that Rs must have any respect for the FBI’s independence has disintegrated completely. Now every FBI DIR: eminently fireable. That the FBI DIR must be a loyal MAGA apparatchik -now every bit as much party dogma as “Border weak” or “Taxes bad.
Since TFG left office -R Party’s ANTI-DEMOCRATIC TURN: ACCELERATED, but it's taken place quietly & deliberately -little media attention -benefit of planning +formation of a partywide consensus🚨 nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/0

Unethical, likely illegal, actions from . Officials from Gov DeSantis’ admin have been texting lobbyists with business before the state & asking for pol donations -breach of campaign finance norms that raises legal & ethical concerns. Whether the state employees’ actions are illegal is unclear.
