You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

Tomorrow, we expect Trump is going to sign an Executive Order claiming to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education. Reminder: Trump does not have the legal authority to destroy a cabinet department; reporting on the EO as if he does have that power is both inaccurate and unethical.

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Actually, the White House explicitly admitted to violating the order. Their claim is they don’t have to comply with court orders.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it. The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

A pathetic and humiliating walkback from the would-be destroyers of CFPB, who know they've lost in court and can't kill the agency. This email from Mark Paoletta went to employees today. It neglects Vought's Feb 10 "stop-work" email that superseded it, ending all activity with no exceptions.

The overwhelming sentiment of the past few weeks is that the US Government is no longer a good faith employer. In a global marketplace with competition from both private companies and state actors, this is going to prove much more costly to the US taxpayer than any savings, which they will never see
