Feels like changing the course on despotic allies, a new page forward, ending unstable behavior wasn't something they regretted having to do because of realpolitik they couldn't control.

Gutting federal support for education & healthcare hurts everyone. Students lose vital services, or state and local taxes rise to fill the gap. Either way, we all pay the price. youtu.be/zF09LgJltAQ

.@AFGENational has its members’ backs. We stand with them. This is an appalling, illegal abuse of power by a billionaire who gets $$ of federal largesse. A billionaire who doesn’t need federal services. Should Presidents try to make things more efficient? Yes. This is not that. It’s evisceration

The only entity from the campaign promising to privatize public services was Project 2025 and Trump said he wasn't affiliated with it. You cannot claim a mandate to do something you lied saying that you wouldn't do it

I led the DOJ working group that crafted 2012 regulations to implement the Prison Rape Elimination Act. One provision: Bureau of Prisons must make individualized assessments on transgender prisoner housing assignments. This was the rule during the first Trump term! The cruelty is the point.

The thing about this is that it's exactly what they were afraid society, "the left", would do to them after jan 6th but that was too uncouth to go after funders and organizers of family separation and jan 6th.

Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Ukraine's telecom operators, including Kyivstar and Vodafone, primarily use 4G tech from Chinese suppliers, especially ZTE. Since the invasion, policymakers have worried about the risks posed by this equipment. But in the end, it was Starlink that was weaponized against Ukraine.

The thing here is this is like a gold mine of info to train his large language model that he wants to take over federal jobs with. Not in actually accomplishing anything but in mimicking the language of someone accomplishing things. Rven jf a relatively small number of 3 million people do respond.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
