Last September, when the FAA proposed fining SpaceX $633,000 for alleged violations, Elon Musk threatened to sue the agency for “regulatory overreach.” Now, as DOGE chief, he may control his regulators’ fate. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Before a 17-year-old opened fire at his Nashville school, authorities were alerted to his violent behavior — including charges for assaulting his mother and threatening a girl with a knife. It's unclear how many of the red flags were heeded. www.propublica.org/article/nash...

I love the phrasing “may have broken the law” and just how empty as a statement it feels. I hear that they broke the law again and I just know there are no consequences coming.

Members of congress have been blocked from entering the department of education. By one guy. Standing in front of the door. What did democrats do? Stand there and whine. Democrats have proven to be ineffectual in stopping fascism time and time again. It’s hard to keep hope in this moment.

1. Today, the New York Times Editorial Board published a piece titled "Trump's Shameful Campaign Against Transgender Americans." I criticize the paper's attempt to wash away the paper's own culpability in ushering in an era of eradication-based policies. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Donald Trump has released a new EO to "eradicate anti-Christian bias." What is one of the examples of "anti-Christian bias" cited in his order? The recognition by Biden of Transgender Day of Visibility, which fell on the same day as Easter Sunday last year. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

NEW: The removal of the DOJ’s Jan. 6 database signals the Trump administration’s intention to not only spare his supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record. By @alecmac.bsky.social

As we saw in his last term, President Trump wants to eliminate the separation of church and state. Everyone has the right to religious freedom, not just the select few who practice this administration’s preferred brand of Christianity.

“Birthright citizenship — both as a constitutional principle and as a policy — provides for equal participation in American society, regardless of race or ancestry." We must protect this essential right.

1. The state department has removed transgender people from its website and just reads "LGB Travelers," as reported by a number of journalists. However, on further investigation, it is also removing trans-specific directions for individual countries. Subscribe to support my journalism.

During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves. (Published Sept. 2024)

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities. When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
