www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government.

Trump at a Saudi conference today: “As of 1/25/25, the dark days of high taxes, crushing regulations, rampant inflation, flagrant corruption government, weaponization -oh I know about weaponization-and total incompetence will be gone forever” Yes he knows weaponization, incompetence, corruption

Dark Pence is back.

Not even six hours apart.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Nice.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Does anyone have a matrix (excel or word document) that lists all the goals and steps in project 2025 and America First Policy Institute (those who pre-drafted the initial EO ) so that we can keep track and share?

Next state into Project 2025: Banning “open door” romance novels. Oklahoma’s SB 593 which looks like anti-child porn but in the second section bans books, plays, movies that have ANY kind of sexual content - the penalty is up to 10-20 years in prison or $250k. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/p...

President of Mexico responds to Trump’s tariffs.

That last paragraph is how you know Nova Scotians mean business

As Musk goes by line item through government spending databases, he is striking anything related to DEI, immigration or refugee. Including “Lutheran Immigration and Refugee services”. So read what he is impacting. This service has a history in the US since WWII. www.gcsynod.org/news/welcomi...

The CDC web guide to help MDs prescribe contraception has been removed. We weren’t overreacting about Project 2025. It’s real and it’s happening NOW. This is a full on assault against women’s rights. No fault divorce will be next-Mark my words. Clip: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2jV5Kvo/ WATCH

@adamschiff.com help us. Elon Musk’s aides are accessing all of the SSI and Medicare systems and data, locking out those who work there. There is no accountability. Can congress not help? With AGs fired, are there no checks and balances? Is our government going to protect its people?

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

"The buck stops here"- Harry Truman "I don't take any responsibility at all."- DJT

WIC. They are pausing WIC. That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.

We are in real time chaos now. My partner runs a research lab at Mayo Clinic funded primarily via the NIH, He’s #5 in the world in aging research & expertise & on multiple review boards ensuring funds go to crucial research. #NIH #NCI We are both in tears @mayocliniccancer.bsky.social

And we have this at an elementary school in Texas, not that far from Uvalde.

Read headline that came across my news feed, beginning with “President Trump just..” [did something], ending with, “But is it legal?” And realized this is our next four years.

BREAKING: TikTok is back up in the United States after an obvious kayfabe. They didn’t need to take it down. The did that on purpose so Trump could “restore” it. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Said goodbye to a sweet man that loved his wife like crazy. He had a long row to hoe, with Alzheimer’s. God bless his family.

Reality scrolling break:

I’m getting a white board for this “administration”. Who is nominated (who is approved). Status of their targets out of project 2025 and America First Policy Institute. So when deniers say, “he said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was”, I can pin their noses to it.
