This Week in Tyranny: Easter War Crimes, Native Americans Aren’t Citizens?, Alcatraz Reopening

This week on This Week in Tyranny: Trump released a budget spending $1.5 trillion on defense, a 44% increase, and literally told a room “we’re fighting wars, we can’t take care of day care.” The EPA was cut in half. Low-income heating assistance eliminated. $73 billion in domestic cuts. But $10 billion for DC beautification and $152 million to reopen Alcatraz as a prison, a National Park since 1972 that closed in 1963 because it was too expensive to run. After starving TSA for 49 days and losing 500+ screeners, the budget cuts their funding and starts privatizing them. At the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Sauer was asked three times by Justice Gorsuch whether Native Americans are birthright citizens and couldn’t say yes. Chief Justice Roberts responded to Sauer’s “new world” argument with five words: it’s the same Constitution. The DOJ admitted it’s handing voter registration data to DHS to run against a citizenship database with a 14% false positive rate. The VA defied a court order for the second time. And on Easter Sunday, the president posted threats to destroy Iranian power plants and bridges in language so obscene CNN’s Jake Tapper warned viewers about children in the room, threats that war crimes experts say are themselves criminal. Then a US fighter jet was shot down by the air defenses Trump claimed were destroyed. The second pilot was missing for days. And the commander in chief who posts threats in all caps disappeared from public view. Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
