The Situation of the Rule of Law.

We have the beginning of the end of the rule of law in America. The White House has bashed due process and habeas corpus (Stephen Miller is thinking about suspending habeas corpus, which is ludicrous) rights. Trump is a fascist tyrant who has no respect for morality, truth, or justice. The reason is that Trump and his supporters have enacted tons of illegal policies time after time again. No human on this Earth is above the law, but Trump regards himself as the law. Trump's policies is the antithesis of true constitutional law and democratic principles. This reality is not an exaggeration. It's real life with real-life consequences. The Republican Party is no longer the Party of Lincoln (which endorsed federal government laws to promote civil rights), it is not the party of Theodore Roosevelt (that sought to break up monopolies and have living wages), and it is not even the party Reagan (I don't agree with Reagan on many issues because of the obvious reasons). The Republican Party is the party of Trump. For over 100 days, Donald Trump has not only perverted the law, but he has openly defied the law when the Supreme Court told him to return a man back from El Salvador to America. Trump's tax bill has tax cuts for the super wealthy and loopholes to benefit large corporations. The Republicans want a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts to healthcare and other social programs that have helped the poor, pregnant women, kids, the elderly, and other human beings greatly.

The tariffs from Trump has harmed America now. Walmart said that it will raise prices because of the tariffs. More Americans face high levels into anxiety amid the Trump trade war. There is still high inflation in our society. Trump lied and said that he would lower grocery prices on Day One. Trump voters are complicit in this. Trump shouldn't be blamed for this alone. The Trump voters knew full well of the racism, lies, xenophobia, vulgarity, immorality, sexism, and hatred found in Trump for decades. Yet, they voted for him because they want equality for certain people but not for all human beings. Now, these same voters must be told about their folly. Now, the Trump, GOP financial bill have tax cuts for the rich, Medicaid and SNAP potential cuts, ending IRS Direct File (that helps millions of Americans to file for the IRS cheaply), give Trump new power to target nonprofits, blocks state/local regulation in deal with AI, and other pro-oligarchy plans. Most Americans are middle class and working class, and Trump's economically reactionary policies are antithetical to justice.

The Supreme Court is looking into the birthright citizenship case. Trump wants to abolish the 14th Amendment which mentions clearly states that anyone born in America is an American citizen. Trump believes that citizenship is only reserved to certain Americans not all Americans. The Supreme Court is examining the power of district judges in the case. Both sides are presenting their arguments to people. The Supreme Court seemed to open to lifting a series of nationwide orders blocking President Trump from enforcing his birthright citizenship policy, even as many justices wrestled with the implications of allowing the government to deny citizenship to people born in America. Kavanaugh is open to having class action lawsuits to deal with the challengers to Trump's executive orders to get broad relief from the courts.

There is a Democratic victory in Nebraska. Omaha elected John Ewing as the new mayor of Omaha, Nebraska. This is a very historic time as John Ewing Jr. will be the first black mayor of Omaha, Nebraska too. Voters in Omaha made history in Nebraska's largest city (which is home to almost one-fourth of the state's population). The campaign dealt with local issues like street repairs and garbage services. The campaign also dealt with cultural issues and the issue of the Trump administration. Jean Stothert was trailing by nearly 11,000 votes in the unofficial results by late Tuesday night. Later, Stothert said she called Ewing and conceded in the race, according to the CNN affiliate KETV. Ewing was the county treasurer. He wanted to fill in more potholes, hire more police officers, and build more affordable housing. So, we enter a new era. It could be a shame if more progress made by Democrats during the 2026 midterm elections coming up. Time will tell. At the end of the day, we have to promote ethics, justice, righteousness, liberty, and equality in our everyday lives forever and ever.

Trump has visited the Royal Palace in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to talk with the dictator Mohammed Bin Salman. Bin Salman resides in a semi-feudal theocracy that still uses the sword to behead death penalty victims. About 338 people were victims of the sword in 2024. Saudi Arabia has massive abuses against people like detaining people for political activity, long periods of detention without charge or trial, and the use the evidence extracted by torture. In Saudi Arabia, there is the denial of legal assistance, and the violation of the right of due process plus a fair trial. Dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in 2018 when Bin Salaam was in power. Trump and his billionaire allies work with Saudi Arabia in the tech world, oil world, etc. Trump wants to invest $600 billion in Saudi Arabia. Ironically, Trump wants to make a dictatorship just like Saudi Arabia is already a dictatorship. Trump talked about abrogating the U.S. Constitution, ruled mostly by executive order, deported immigrants to concentration camps, and allowed the illegal seizure of students for protesting the Gaza genocide. Trump wants to receive the gift of a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from the Qatar royal family (estimated $450 million). We reject this system of financial oligarchy.
