Trump undermines Watergate laws in massive shift of ethics system
Then-Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman was 32 when, as a member of the House Judiciary Committee, she voted in 1974 for three articles of impeachment against President Richard M. Nixon.
She spent the next few years as part of a Congress that passed wave after wave of laws to rein in future presidents.
A half-century later, Holtzman, a New York Democrat, is watching as Donald Trump takes aim at post-Watergate reforms on transparency, spending, conflicts of interest and more.
By challenging and disregarding, in letter or in spirit, this slew of 1970s laws,
Trump is essentially closing the 50-year post-Watergate chapter of American history
— and ushering in a new era of shaky guardrails and blurred separation of powers.
“We didn’t envision this,” Holtzman said.
“We saw Nixon doing it, but he hadn’t done it on this vast a scale.
Trump is saying, ‘Congress cannot tell me what to do about anything

Seit einigen Wochen kommt es in Essen-Kray zu verstärkter Nazi-Aktivität. In den Parteiräumen der neonazistischen Partei "Die Heimat" in Kray treffen sich alte Kader mit jungen Strukturen.
Von dieser Gruppe geht eine immense Gefahr für alle aus, die nicht in das Weltbild der Neonazis passen.
Inzwischen üben die Neonazis auch ganz unverhohlen den Einsatz von Schusswaffen.

Maja im Hungerstreik - Tag 17 - Hausarrest abgelehnt - Einordnung des Solidaritätskomitee
nachhören hier: freie-radios.net/136166
Bei der Verhandlung in Majas Strafverfahren am Budapester Gericht am 20. Juni 2025 hat der Richter Majas Antrag auf Verlegung in den Hausarrest aufgrund angeblicher Fluchtgefahr abgelehnt. Dies ist eine Entscheidung mit schwerwiegenden politischen Konsequenzen.
Konstantin vom Solidaritätskomitee für Maja´s Hungerstreik ordnet die aktuellen Ereignisse für uns politisch ein und weißt darauf hin, dass der politische Druck noch nicht groß genug ist, die kritische Phase des Hungerstreik für Majas langfristige Gesundheit aber nun da ist.
Deshalb ist es wichtig den Druck zu erhöhen und kreativ zu werden bei den Aktionsformen!
Freiheit für Maja!

in reply to Nonilex • • •It was the day of #Trump’s inauguration, & the U.S. Agency for International Development’s new director looked like he might pass out, as the color drained from his face.
Jason Gray, #USAID’s chief information officer, who had been at the agency for only 2 years, had just learned he would be in charge, effective immediately. Gray wasn’t supposed to be the boss.
#SoftPower #law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •The outgoing #Biden admin had selected somebody with more #ForeignAid experience to manage #USAID until the new president chose, & #Congress approved, a permanent administrator. But #Trump’s team, apparently eager to reverse any decisions by the former president, told Gray to take the helm instead.
#SoftPower #law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •Inside the agency’s offices, Gray’s colleagues gathered around, trying to buck him up.
Yes, the job would be challenging under #Trump, whose “America First” politics weren’t exactly sympathetic to sending #US taxpayer money around the world. But #USAID had come through the first Trump admin largely unscathed, & #MarcoRubio, the incoming secretary of #state, was a longtime supporter.
#SoftPower #law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •A little after 4PM, Gray issued an upbeat memo to the agency’s more than 10,000 employees, telling them to expect a focus on innovation & new partnerships.
“The next four years offer a great opportunity for our agency,” he wrote.
Two weeks later, #USAID was on the cusp of oblivion — its programs around the world stopped, its staff in Washington told to stay home.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Today, the rapid-fire dismantling of the country’s sprawling #global #aid agency remains one of the most consequential outcomes of the #Trump admin’s efforts to overhaul the federal government. Not only did it transform US #ForeignPolicy, but it also provided a vivid opening display of Trump’s willingness to tear down institutions as he saw fit, in defiance of #Congress & the #courts, with a speed that was hard for his opponents to comprehend, much less resist.
#USAID #SoftPower #law #judiciary
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •A NYT examination found that #Trump admin ofcls came to #USAID with no plan to dismantle the agency, at least not so quickly. Instead, that decision emerged day by day, marked by rash demands, shock & confusion. It culminated with a tense showdown 10 days after #Trump’s inauguration, in which agency employees defied orders from #ElonMusk, who was then at the height of his influence in Washington, & personally intervened to drive the agency’s elimination.
#law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •#Musk demanded that Gray shut off email & cellphone access for #USAID workers around the world, including in conflict zones. Gray refused, saying that doing so would put their lives at risk, according to people familiar with the exchange. By the next day, he had been removed from his post.

in reply to Nonilex • • •…The Times investigation found that #Musk’s #DOGE first approached #USAID as a source of useful anecdotes of what it called “viral waste” — government spending that seemed foolish, & could be exploited to support the case for cuts.
When employees raised concerns about demands that they viewed as dangerous or #unlawful, the #Trump admin branded their actions as “insubordination” — then used that charge to justify dismantling the agency.
#SoftPower #law #judiciary #SeparationOfPowers
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •The result was a real-time decision to take down an institution created almost 65 years ago as a linchpin of US #ForeignPolicy, intended to advance the country’s #NationalSecurity interests by establishing new markets for American goods, reducing conflicts that risked entangling US #troops, & countering efforts by communist & autocratic regimes to expand their power.
