The #Trump admin issued #subpoenas Friday to several journalists for #TheNewYorkTimes, after the news outlet reported this week on #security concerns involving #Trump’s new #Qatar donated #AirForceOne.
The subpoenas — which seek to force the #reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in Trump’s efforts to #threaten & #intimidate independent news organizations.

#FBI search in #Georgia shows Trump’s willingness to use…federal #law enforcement to intervene in #election matters in the lead-up to the critical 2026 #midterms, which will determine the extent of his authority for the remainder of his 2nd term.

Donald Trump is borrowing a strategy from authoritarian regimes to #intimidate potential critics and #discourage them from speaking out, according to a senator under investigation by his administration.
#Elissa #Slotkin, a Democrat from Michigan, faces questioning after she organised and appeared in a #video with other Democrats imploring military service members to #refuse “#illegal #orders”.
Fellow senator #Mark #Kelly and three Democrats from the House of Representatives are also being investigated.
To Slotkin, a former analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency ( #CIA ), it is a deliberate effort to chill free speech that rhymes with her experience of #dictatorships around the world.
“They’re now using a well-worn playbook that employs #physical intimidation and #legal intimidation to get,
A, you to shut up, and
B, for other people thinking of criticising the president on such issues to be dissuaded from doing so,”
she told the Guardian in a phone interview.“It’s absolutely a strategy well used in other countries and other authoritarian governments.
As a CIA officer I’ve served in places like this,
I’ve studied places like this my entire life,
and Trump is sadly using that #playbook in the United States right now.”Now 49, Slotkin completed three tours in Iraq with the US military before moving into national security roles at the Pentagon and White House under presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama.
In 2018 she turned to electoral politics, winning a long-held Republican seat in #Michigan and helping Democrats reclaim control of the House.
She secured re-election in 2020 and 2022, campaigning on issues such as access to affordable healthcare and efforts to bring manufacturing back to her home state.
Her ascent continued in 2024 when she won an open Senate seat despite Trump carrying Michigan in the presidential election.
Last year she delivered the Democrats’ rebuttal to Trump’s joint congressional address.
Then in November she was among six congressional Democrats,
all with military or intelligence backgrounds,
who in a 90-second video cited the "Uniform Code of Military Justice"
and said no one has to carry out orders that violate the law or constitution.#Trump branded the video message “treasonous” and amplified a social media post suggesting that the six Democrats be #hanged.
Defence secretary Pete #Hegseth is attempting to #retroactively #demote Kelly,
a former navy pilot and astronaut,
from his retired rank of captain.👏The Arizona senator is suing Hegseth to block those proceedings,
calling them an unconstitutional act of retribution.Meanwhile US attorney #Jeanine #Pirro, the justice department’s chief prosecutor in Washington, has requested an interview with Slotkin.

#Cornyn Says #FBI Will Help Find #Texas Lawmakers Who Left State
The senator said the agency had agreed to help locate Democratic state legislators who departed to try to block a vote on congressional maps. Democrats said #FederalLawEnforcement was being misused.
By J. David Goodman and Julie Bosman
Aug. 7, 2025"Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, said on Thursday that the F.B.I. had agreed to his request to help track down dozens of Democratic Texas state lawmakers who left the state to prevent a vote on a redistricting plan.
"The activation of federal agents could create a standoff between the Trump administration and state leaders in Illinois, where many of the absent #Democrats have taken refuge.
"It was not clear on Thursday morning whether federal agents had actually taken action in the case, or what role they might eventually play.
"Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois scoffed at the idea that federal agents could be deployed against the Texas lawmakers present in his state, calling it 'a lot of grandstanding.'" 'The reality is that all that he has said is that the F.B.I. has been authorized to locate the House Democrats — nothing more,' Mr. Pritzker told reporters at the Illinois State Fair on Thursday. 'I welcome the F.B.I. coming to the state,' he added. 'But they won’t be arresting anyone because there is no federal law that prohibits those Texas House Democrats from being here.'
"Mr. Pritzker has previously said that federal law enforcement agents might be used in an attempt to #intimidate lawmakers, even if the agents did not have cause to make arrests.
"Several of the #TexasDemocrats in Illinois said that as of Thursday morning, no federal agents had been seen or reported at the lawmakers’ hotel in St. Charles, about 25 miles west of Chicago.
"The whereabouts of the Texas lawmakers are widely known, but until now at least, they had considered themselves safe from arrest because they were far from the jurisdiction of Texas law enforcement agencies.
" 'I am proud to announce that Director #KashPatel has approved my request for the F.B.I. to assist state and local law enforcement in locating runaway Texas House Democrats,' Mr. Cornyn said in a statement."In his letter on Tuesday requesting the bureau’s assistance, Mr. Cornyn argued that the Democratic lawmakers might have violated state bribery laws by accepting money from outside groups to support their efforts to prevent a vote in the Texas House on a redrawn political map.
"No criminal warrants have actually been filed against the lawmakers in Texas. The speaker of the Texas House has issued civil warrants, saying that the Democrats violated rules of attendance for that chamber,but those warrants have not been considered enforceable outside the state during previous legislative walkouts."

#USCongress is too frightened and cowed to oppose Trump. #SCOTUS' pathetically cringing and servile deference to #POTUS has rendered them pointless and powerless. #USA's separation of powers has collapsed, and the country is effectively running without its #Constitution.
At this point regional Federal courts are a mere speed bump for #DictatorTrump -- but even THAT minor inconvenience he will not stand for, using lawsuits to #intimidate sitting judges. And when that fails, what do you suppose his next step will be?

“Our job is to evaluate science & evaluate it in an unbiased fashion. That’s what we do & I think we do it well. The questions seem to suggest that there’s some bias in what we do—that’s where the vaguely threatening part comes in,”Dr. Rubin said.
Jeremy Berg, fmr editor of #Science, said he thought the letters were to “#intimidate journals…” to publish papers that align w/the #Trump admin’s beliefs—on #ClimateChange & #vaccines, for example—even if the quality of the #research is poor.

#Distract #Intimidate #Silence #Abuse
A psychopathic president.
‘Longwell estimated that Trump might be trying to get people to look in a different direction after he backed down on his trade war.
"…like a guy with a laser pointer and the media is a bunch of cats. Is he trying to get people to chase things so they stop talking about the fact that he caved and did a total about-face on the tariffs after telling us for days that he wasn't going to do a pause? And now he's suddenly pausing because the world economy is collapsing. Is he doing this as a distraction?"
She then noted that targeting people like this can scare others away from leaking information to the public.
"And what he's trying to do here, though, is to make people afraid of speaking out against him.‘Trump is trying to intimidate his staff from speaking out during this administration, she continued
…I mean, this is some of the most insane authoritarian stuff we've seen out of him."

“It is about criminalizing #dissent,” she said. “There is a method to his madness in that he has taken people on a journey of #indoctrination.”

Emboldened by corrupt #SCOTUS decision on #PresidentialImmunity & FALSE hopes of #AmericanMonarchy under #Trump, #HeritageFoundation just fired opening salvo of #SecondAmericanRevolution based on another FALSE hope that it would be #bloodless — like the #GloriousRevolution that put William III of Orange on the #British Throne.
Knowing THAT hope is false, it is openly threatening #Democrats with #bloodshed, again FALSELY hoping to #intimidate us with its own #BrunswickManifesto.
