The United States is now teetering on the brink of a structural breakdown in the rule of law. Extraordinarily dangerous.
Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

If I were Starmer, I would be instructing every relevant department to fast track any and all visas and grants for medical scientists and pharmaceutical companies to set up shop in the UK.
If Trump gives him free reign and even half of what RFK jr wants happens, there will be a huge brain drain.
