    EXCERPT:

    EISEN: "Donald Trump came to office saying he was going to be a dictator on day one. The essence of dictatorship: defy the Constitution and laws. He’s done that on day one. And we know, when dictators come to power, they very seldom voluntarily relinquish that authority. He’s continued to break the law, and judges, by that above 80% rate across the board of who appointed them, are rejecting him. We’ve won orders forcing him to stop targeting 6000 FBI agents, reinstate over 20,000 federal employees who were wrongly fired, reinstate — she’s back at work, the head of the Federal Labor Relations Authority. And then in this latest victory, for the first time, it’s a landmark case, a federal judge said Elon Musk and DOGE unconstitutionally fed USAID into the wood chipper. No wonder Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and the other members of this administration are so angry. They’re losing and it’s waking up political and popular opposition to this dictatorship.”
