Donny’s War on Books continues.
Analysis of Trump Administration's Funding Cuts to Harvard
Assault on Democracy Authoritarian RiskRationale
The funding cuts can be seen as a retaliatory measure against a prestigious institution for exercising free speech, which raises concerns about the retaliatory politics against dissenting voices, thus threatening the principles of free expression and the rule of law.
Harvard, the big-brain ivory tower Donny loves to hate just dragged his administration to federal court over a $2.6 billion funding cut. Why? Because Donny got his feelings hurt. Again.
Apparently, being mildly critical of the regime now means you don’t get to educate people. That’s the deal. You either fall in line and chant “Big Beautiful Bill!” or you get defunded.
Harvard’s lawyers, probably exhausted from having to argue basic constitutional law in 2025, laid it out: this wasn’t about budgets, it was pure political payback. Donny wanted to punish them for not kissing the ring. And oh, look, it also violates the First Amendment - because of course it does.
Donny, meanwhile, is probably scribbling “HARVARD IS FAKE” in crayon somewhere, wondering why people think removing $2.6 billion in research funding is a bad thing. (“They’re communists anyway, right?”)
But let’s be clear: this isn’t just Donny’s vendetta against “elitists.” It’s another notch in the authoritarian playbook. Obey, or get obliterated.
Good luck to the lawyers trying to explain to a judge that, yes, revenge-governing is illegal. Even when you shout it on Truth Social in all caps.
Human Rights Abuses in Donny's Concentration Camps
Analysis of Immigration Detention Center Abuses
Assault on Democracy Authoritarian RiskRationale
The reported abuses in Florida immigration detention centers reflect a significant erosion of civil liberties, involving denial of basic rights such as medical care, overcrowding, and degrading living conditions for detainees. Such actions not only contravene human rights standards but also normalize mistreatment by state authorities, signaling a tilt toward authoritarism where the state devalues the rights and dignity of individuals, especially marginalized groups. This aligns with tactics that undermine democratic norms and accountability.
Everyone knew this was coming.
A new Human Rights Watch report just dropped disturbingly inconvenient truths about three Florida "immigration detention centers" (read concentration camps) and guess what? It’s a horror show:
- Deaths from neglect: Detainees were denied medical care, leading to preventable fatalities.
- Overcrowding abuses: People are packed like sardines. No privacy, no dignity, no safety.
- Degrading, filthy conditions: Think mold, broken toilets, no soap, and no end in sight.
This is what happens when "Never Seen Anything Like This" Trump speeches get translated into Trump policies: cruelty unbound, humanity out the window.
Let’s be brutally clear:
This isn't "border security."
It’s not about enforcing laws.
It’s about terrorizing vulnerable people for headlines.
Human Rights Watch, not exactly a leftist think tank is calling it “inhuman and unlawful abuse.” And while Donny and his confederacy of enablers shrug, these detainees are paying with their lives.
So spare us the MAGA pity-lies. Stop calling them 'illegals' or 'criminals.' They’re human beings. And they’re being treated worse than prisoners in the worst dumps.
This isn’t policy. This isn’t safety. This is state-approved torture with taxpayer dollars, all courtesy of Donny’s cruelty campaign on the southern frontier.
Because under Donny cruelty is the point.
Donny's Revenge Tour: Expelling Wall Street Journal from Press Pool
Action Evaluation: Trump Bans Wall Street Journal from Press Pool
Assault on Democracy Authoritarian RiskRationale
The exclusion of the Wall Street Journal from the press pool represents a clear attack on press freedom, which is essential for holding power to account. By punishing a media outlet for unfavorable reporting, it not only undermines the credibility of the press but also sets a dangerous precedent where dissenting voices are targeted, indicating an authoritarian attitude.
Donny’s tantrum tour has reached Scotland. And guess who’s not invited?
That’s right - the Wall Street Journal has been kicked out of the press pool like a drunk uncle at a wedding. Their crime? Daring to report that Donny allegedly sent Jeffrey Epstein a suggestive birthday doodle. Which, let’s be honest, the evidence is pretty compelling.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who always seems to be one Truth Social meltdown away from spontaneous combustion said the Journal was being punished for “fake and defamatory conduct.”
Translation: They reported something Donny didn’t like. And in TrumpWorld™, that’s a cardinal sin.
So, instead of addressing the Epstein letter or maybe just… denying it properly, Donny’s doing what he does best: weaponizing access and throwing another authoritarian hissy fit. "No press pass for you, you meanies!"
Meanwhile, reporters still on the plane are no doubt busy pretending this is normal. Spoiler: It’s not. This is how dictators behave when they can’t control the headlines.
And Donny? He’s just mad the Journal didn’t draw a halo over his creepy little signature.
Speaker Mike Johnson Puts the Brakes on Epstein Transparency
Analysis of Speaker Mike Johnson's Action
Assault on DemocracyRationale
This action demonstrates an obstructionist approach to governance by refusing transparency and accountability, effectively shielding the administration from necessary scrutiny. It represents a weak point in the rule of law and indicates an increasing consolidation of power within the legislative branch to avoid oversight.
Protect the King. At all costs. This is the MAGA way.
So, House speaker Mike Johnson - ever the dutiful servant of King Donny, slammed the brakes on any vote related to the Jeffrey Epstein files before the House’s summer recess. So everyone has been sent home for the summer, while we let things cool down for a while.
Despite bipartisan calls to bring transparency and clarity to the festering mess that is the Epstein case, Johnson decided the best course of action was to... do absolutely nothing.
It’s a bold strategy: the entire country’s losing its mind over the fact that everyone from Donny Jr. to Marjorie Taylor Greene demanded the files be released—, nly to then vote to keep them buried. And now the GOP’s new game plan is to pretend the scandal doesn’t exist until August.
Nothing suspicious about that at all, right?
Let’s be real, this isn't legislative prudence. It's a cover-up with sunscreen. They’re heading off on recess while letting public trust melt into the pavement.
It's utterly obvious that Donny is all over the Epstein files. This is as clear as day. It's already a matter of public record that Donny and Jeff were best buds for 10-15 years. Donny described him as a "terrific guy". He's allegedly sent him a lewd birthday card with a dark subtext.
If you were innocent - wouldn't you do everything in your power to clear your name? The only explanation for the constant obstructions and distraction attempts is that Donny is as guilty as hell.
