The US Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk's private security detail, giving them certain rights and protections of federal law enforcement agents. These private citizens can now carry weapons on federal grounds.

The Dotard-in-Chief has certainly accelerated America's hegemonic decline, like Nero or Caligula during the Roman Empire. China is the second largest economy in the world and spreading its influence in Africa, Micronesia, and SE Asia. Last year China opened a railway into Afghanistan and is building RR tracks in Africa. Beijing has probably lost less than 100 soldiers in the 21st century (border skirmishes in the Himalayas against India) while selling and testing weapons systems during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, profiting and learning at the same time. While the US wasted money and resources in Iraq and Afghanistan (the "forever wars"), Beijing invested in its space program and now poses a serious threat to US satellite systems. Thank you, Republicans!
