Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders launched a probe into Trump’s unprecedented firings of Democratic members of the NLRB and EEOC.

The dismissals, including NLRB’s Gwynne Wilcox and EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows, eliminated agency quorums, hampering their functions.

Legal scholars argue these firings violate long-standing precedent protecting independent agency leaders. Wilcox and others plan legal action.

Sanders warned the moves weaken labor protections, while the EEOC, under new leadership, is already rolling back workplace gender identity protections.

    If your personal conclusion is that you are in favor of the authoritarian takeover of the US government, then grow a pair and just say so. Sheesh.

          It’s already happening. It’s too late. In less than two months there will be no more American government. There will be a Oligarchical regime. It’s over. Your way of life is over. You remember people talking about bread lines? There will be no bread lines. There will be death lines where the rich pay the military to kill you so they can live while the Earth burns.

          You are already dead, but you hold on to hope because you think someone is going to save you. No one is coming to save you.

            Dude. Take your own advice, seriously. You really sound like you need to stop doom scrolling yourself, because you are only coming across as whining about the problem.
