#Trump Just #BroketheLaw. #Blatantly. And He Might #GetAwayWithIt.
How is this not a major #political #scandal already? #Hello, #democrats

Trump promised voters he would act like a dictator on day one; and he honored that promise, in spades.
🔥Trump tried to nullify the Constitution with an executive order directing agencies to no longer honor the 14th Amendment’s declaration of #birthright #citizenship.
🔥Trump closed the week late on Friday by daring Congress to stem his corruption. He attempted to #fire more than a dozen independent #inspectors #general (IG) without providing Congress with the required 30 day notice or details on cause for dismissal.
❇️The courts, responding to an appeal from multiple secretaries of state, fulfilled their role on Thursday.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, appointed by President Reagan, was unequivocal in his dismissal of that executive order:
✅“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a #blatantly #unconstitutional order… I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind.”

European Union election observers have flagged irregularities in Mozambique’s election as the country awaits the announcement of official results this week. There have been protests by opposition supporters and the recent killing of two prominent opposition figures. The EU observer mission said Tuesday that some of its 179 election observers deployed to the country had been prevented from observing tabulation processes in some districts, provinces and at national level. The mission also noted “unjustified alteration” of election results at some polling stations. The governing Frelimo party’s candidate David Chapo is expected to succeed President Filipe Nyusi as his governing party leads the polls so far and is expected to extend its 49-year rule.
