The regime is swinging the axe while hiding its filth. Mass layoffs, economic games, and a desperate attempt to bury the Epstein fallout. All in 24 hours? Cute try, fascists.
1. DOJ Thursday Night Massacre Fallout
Seven top DOJ prosecutors walked out rather than obey orders to drop corruption cases against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Legal analysts are calling it the most brazen political interference since Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.” Congress is now facing pressure to launch public hearings on the purge.

2. Federal Employee Purge Expands
Over 275,000 civilian workers are gone or on the chopping block as Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” led by Elon Musk, guts agencies like USAID and GSA. Lawsuits are flying, and economists warn the federal system is being dismantled in real time.

3. Tariff Tyranny Rolls Out
Trump’s EU trade deal slaps a 15% hike on European imports while forcing billions in U.S. energy and defense sales. The dollar hit a short-term high, but analysts warn the working class will eat the fallout.

4. Political Violence Surge
After the Manhattan shooting that targeted NFL HQ killed four, state budgets are being rewritten to cover personal security for lawmakers. Civil liberties advocates warn this is a back door to restricting public access to elected officials.

5. Maxwell Appeal & Trump’s Epstein Spin
Ghislaine Maxwell has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction under the old Epstein plea deal. Trump claims he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago because he “stole staff,” not because of trafficking. Survivors are demanding full unredacted transcripts and accountability.
