President Trump issued an executive order on Tuesday that seeks greater authority over regulatory agencies that Congress established as independent from direct White House control, part of a broader bid to centralize a president’s power over the government.
The order requires independent agencies to submit their proposed regulations to the White House for review, asserts a power to block such agencies from spending funds on projects or efforts that conflict with presidential priorities, and declares that they must accept the president’s and the Justice Department’s interpretation of the law as binding.
. . .
The order follows Mr. Trump’s summary firings of leaders of independent agencies in defiance of statutes that bar their removal without cause before their terms are up. Collectively, the moves constitute a major front in the president’s assault on the basic shape of the American government and his effort to seize some of Congress’s constitutional power over it.
When do we rise up? Waiting ten days to have a shopping strike feels like minimizing the severity of this crisis.
You can opt out of the economy at any time, I haven’t bought anything besides locally grown food for several weeks. I’m in the process of divesting the money I have in stock into precious metals funds.

They rich are too rich to notice. At this point they are looking to take over the world. They have their starting capital already so changing your consumption routines will have minimal effect at this point.
Is lead considered a precious metal?
It sure as hell tastes better than gold, guess it depends on what you consider precious
it is a heavy metal.
Depends on the decade.

I’m believing it’s all just a pipe dream now. People are just simply more talk than action. The people who are taking action, are all the wrong people to be taking action. I’m talking the pardoned Jan 6 rioters who’ve been re-arrested again for surprise - being the criminals that they are.
Everyone else is either too scared, too knee deep in commitments, misguided, misinformed, tucked in corners somewhere and just lacking the energy.
