Trump Seeks Control of Independent Agencies
As ominous as this and his other authoritarian moves area, the most ominous are the rumored removable of all of the military leadership: the generals and admirals.

U.S. to Sell $5 Million Green Cards
IOW it's okay to buy your way in but not come through the back door? I wonder how the MAGA faithful feel about that? I suspect that the MAGA faithful won't be very happy because the people that they would be most happy with are Europeans and they aren't likely to apply while Trump is POTUS. I suspect there will be a lot of POC applying for this "gold card" i.e. Asians, Indians, Arabs, Hispanics, etc. There will probably be some Russians trying to escape the tyranny of Putin. But, they need to keep in mind that Putin will find them wherever they try to flee. So will the Chinese.
