I didn't know if we were still adding to the list of politically motivated violence. But I figured this fits well here.

The Trump administration continues its attack on the judiciary. Following the US Trade Court's decision declaring Trump's tarrifs illegal....

Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, called the decision a “judicial coup” on social media.

“We are living under a judicial tyranny,” Mr. Miller added on Thursday, reposting photos of the three trade court judges. Two of the judges were Republican appointees, one named to the bench by Mr. Trump.

..

Mr. Trump began the week with an all-caps Memorial Day message on social media in which he castigated efforts to block his administration from quickly carrying out deportations and rebuked “USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK.”

After the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration wrongly used a 1977 law to impose tariffs, a White House spokesman decried “unelected judges.”

“Three judges of the U.S. Court of International Trade disagreed and brazenly abused their judicial power,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, told reporters Thursday. She said they had moved to “usurp the authority of President Trump to stop him from carrying out the mandate that the American people gave him.”

....threats against federal judges have risen drastically since President Trump took office, according to internal data compiled by the U.S. Marshals Service and obtained by The New York Times.

In a five-month period leading up to March 1 of this year, 80 individual judges had received threats, the data shows. Then, over the next six weeks, 162 judges received threats.

That spike in threats coincided with a flood of harsh rhetoric, including from Mr. Trump and his officials, criticizing judges who have ruled against the administration and even calling for their impeachment.

Top Jan. 6 prosecutor says Trump's Capitol riot pardons signal approval of political violence

Greg Rosen, who headed the Justice Department's Capitol Siege Section, said the notion that Jan. 6 defendants were "railroaded or mistreated is belied by the actual facts."

Judges appointed by presidents of both parties adjudicated the cases, and Rosen said the historical record created by the prosecutions "is what will speak volumes, not conjecture and not speculation.”

Trump warns 'any' protesters at military parade will be 'met with heavy force'

"People that want to protest will be met with big force," he said, noting that he hadn't heard of any plans to protest at the military parade in Washington yet. "But this is people that hate our country. They will be met with heavy force."

Last month, Army spokesman Steve Warren told reporters that the service welcomes peaceful protests, noting its motto is "this we'll defend," a reference to the service's commitment to upholding democratic values.

The U.S. Secret Service and Washington officials said Monday they were tracking nine small protests but that they didn't expect any violence.

Says it all. And if that's a not a call for a protest then I don't know what it. It would be nice to see this:
