From HuffPost: Trump to issue EO to take over USPS. You may recall that under Bush admin Repubs dictated that USPS must stockpile enough funds to pay 75 years health benefits for retirees. This is why the USPS has been so broke. There are billions of dollars up for grabs.

The postal service is an enumerated Article I power of Congress, so this is yet another attack on the Constitution. But if Trump slashes or privatizes the USPS, it will wreak economic chaos and most hurt his own core constituencies, especially rural Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Apple removes its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature from customers in the UK after pressure from the government. Very troubling news. ADP provides end-to-end encryption, allowing only account holders to view items such as photos or documents they have stored online.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

The highest level of power is.... The Constitution. Below the Constitution are the three co-equal branches of the federal government. Unfortunately, too many people [based on civic literacy surveys I've looked at] don't know this much. They should hold their opinions on current events.

Again and again, these GOP senators are choosing to remain silent or outright enable the shredding of our Constitution and dismantling of our government because they care more about the billionaires who will benefit than they do about us. And all of these senators are facing re-election next year.

Good for her. Sassoon is a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk—someone with solid conservative bona fides—but who clearly has scruples.
