The longest shutdown ever is now a loyalty test inside the Pentagon. Public servants are unpaid. Veterans and civilians are pushed into crisis. When fear replaces expertise in national security roles, America gets weaker fast. #democraticdecline

Trump’s latest post demanding investigations of his critics hits the exact authoritarian indicators our assessment warned about: weaponizing justice, delegitimizing oversight, and attacking those who uphold the rule of law.

In another social media post, Trump demands that Jack Smith and “these thugs” be thrown in prison. Calling prosecutors “criminals” and demanding they be imprisoned for doing their jobs is rule-of-law demolition.

A third Trump-installed U.S. Attorney just ruled unlawful— a strategy to bypass Senate oversight and politicize justice. But accountability isn’t optional.

After today’s order to report daily to the court, DHS’s tweet looks like a potential rebuke of judicial oversight — portraying the agency’s work as unassailable and labeling any opposition as “radical terror or anarchy.”

NEW: ICE says it no longer has to provide Congress access to detention facilities — thanks to the shutdown.

That requirement was part of the appropriations law that expired last month — and now operations are funded by Trump’s megabill.

A federal judge just told DOJ and DHS to stop poisoning trials with political rhetoric. When a judge has to remind the government, particularly the DOJ, not to taint trials with propaganda, the rule of law is in danger.
