Any pub or show not running or reporting on this comment right here is absolutely caping for this administration. Everyone knows education is the most kitchen table ass talking point ever and specifically saying disabled kids shouldn't have access to it affects so many families

Approximately 7.5 million Americans between the ages of 3-21 receive special educational services for disabilities. I’m sure their families and friends will be cool with whatever happens to them do once the Department of Education is gutted.

By the end of this administration there might be like a half dozen agencies sitting in a quantum superposition of "legally existing" and "functionally abolished" and unless SCOTUS protects them they will just forever operate only when Ds are in charge and disappear when Rs are

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

On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

It clear that if you are a US based academic, but not a citizen, leaving for conferences is no longer an option. I also don't see it too much of a stretch for them to start harassing US citizens on re-entry.

In the absence of adequate staff, the lion's share of the administrative burden of helping the elderly navigate SSA will fall on adult daughters, DILs, and female friends. The war on the elderly, the war on lower income Americans, and the war on women are the same war. @jessicacalarco.bsky.social

By the by, this from the DOJ lawyers is a fortitori an argument that if the government wants to kidnap some people, load them into planes, fly out past the maritime boundary, and then simply dump them in the sea, that’s not something that any US Judge could rule was against the law.

If you take the White House seriously we're going to get the largest tariff hike in US history implemented in 2 weeks and nobody will know the numbers or details until the day beforehand. It's insane policy and insulting that they still pretend this is about "reciprocal" trade
