There are a ton of frightening things about a future second Trump presidency that keep me awake at night. The notion that he’ll have absolute immunity to use Seal Team 6 to go after his rivals, thanks to our corrupt extremist SCOTUS Justices, and his frequent statements about executing his rivals (like Liz Cheney) show he’s chomping at the bit to use it, is one. That’s petrifying in and of itself.

The next day, Kennedy shared that Trump had promised him control of several agencies, including the CDC, the FDA, the Health and Human Services Department, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “and a few others.”
