This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

the tactic of bringing very young men into the computer rooms of Washington, with their songs of inexperience, makes perfect sense for tyrants, who have always valued loyalty over demonstrated merit and competence. Early 20th C. European fascism had this twisted relationship with youth, too.
