Here to vent, rage and take. Hopefully not in that exact order but I'm taking it day-to-day.

Because the rest of America doesn't get good night kisses from the president while having a sleepover at his luxury golf club.

What a disgusting situation filled with proof that the system is absolutely broken.
I hope they can all sue and be made at least somewhat whole at some point.

That's how she knows this video she found on telegram of Hilary Clinton wearing a kids face is real.

Just in:
Elon and Trump issue order to redefine speech to mean conservative words and hate to mean everything else.
Mass removal and round up of violators to begin immediately.
"I'm coming on- with Elon to get these mean people. It'll be yuge. Biggest free speech yet. Just yuge. Yuge Elon"

"Notably, during Secretary Del Toro’s “three and a half years as Secretary,” he “reviewed thousands of
disciplinary cases and personnel matters,” yet he cannot “recollect a single disciplinary case or
performance issue related directly to a service member’s transgender status.”

"High-ranking military leaders who
implemented the Austin Policy have submitted sworn declarations in which they testify, from
personal experience, that transgender persons serving openly has improved, not decreased,
military preparedness."
-Again, facts are 180 from Trump and Hegseth

Never let anyone in this administration pretend this was about the money, the quality, or the health of any service members.

post
"Defendants analyze the costs of discharging and replacing thousands of trained
service members, many with decades of experience and specialized skills""The military’s practice of discharging gay and lesbian service members under “Don’t
Ask, Don’t Tell” “cost taxpayers more than $600 million.”"
comment in response to
post
"Defendants do not explain why the former (and every
other medical cost) is acceptable while the latter requires banning transgender persons from
military service."
-Hegseth and Trump are in the pocket of big dick pill. Likely half an act of projection half cause they think it's "manly". Fragile
comment in response to

"It states that the amount to
treat gender dysphoria is $52 million over ten years and that this amount is too high. Comparisons are important, though. For example, the Department spent
approximately $41 mil for Viagra in 2023, compared to an estimated $5.2 mil for gender affirming care."
comment in response to
post
"Assuming $5.2 million per year, estimated transgender care costs was fifty-seven hundred thousandths of a percent (00.00057%) of total military spending for 2024."

"No one summarizing the Review in good faith could draw these conclusions. To start,
the Medical Literature Review did not survey studies on transgender persons in military service:
i.e., individuals already found to be physically and mentally fit."
So all the cited literature is used in bad faith
comment in response to
post
"The Court instead finds that the Action Memo’s summary of the AMSARA Report is
inexplicably misleading. Further, the Report contradicts, rather than supports, the conclusions
the Action Memo draws from it."
Goes on further to say it shows a lack of military judgement.

Quote (emphasis added)
"were comparable to those of all service members evaluated for disability", completely the opposite of the claim leading to the policy leading to this lawsuit, lies all the way down
comment in response to
post
"No one who has read the Report could find that it supports this conclusion.
To start, the Action Memo fails to mention the Report’s key finding: rates of transgender persons
experiencing the conditions of the cohort group were comparable to those of all service members evaluated for disability."
comment in response to
post
"Here, Defendants did not analyze the “Department’s own data and experience since the [Austin] Policy took effect.”"
-The kicker is this new unfounded policy was thrown together in a month, and completely ignored any and all resources on the matter. Hate, feelings and ideology are the Animus.
comment in response to
post
".. That uncertainty no longer exists. Transgender persons have served openly in the U.S. military since the Austin Policy issued in 2021, and medical studies
now overwhelmingly conclude that gender dysphoria is “highly treatable.”
Mattis had limited data but used it to make his policy in 8 months
comment in response to
post
"By its own terms, moreover, the Mattis Policy’s findings were limited by “uncertainty.”
Transgender persons had not served openly previously and the medical literature
concerning “the study and treatment of gender dysphoria” was then also in a state of flux.
This mandated “caution.”.."

No panel of experts—or any other kind—informed the Hegseth Policy. The Record
reflects only that it “was informed through consideration.” Action Memo at 4 (cleaned up). But,
again, Defendants do not even know who undertook the “consideration.”

(1) the
“SecDef Memorandum” from February 22, 2018 (i.e., the Mattis Policy); (2) “a 2021 review
conducted by . . . the Accession Medical Standards Analysis and Research Activity,” (AMSARA
Report), (3) “[a] 2025 medical literature review,” and (4) “a review

"The Action Memo, an internal document
accompanying the Hegseth Policy, explains that the Military Ban “was informed through
consideration of, among other things,” Hegseth Policy, and the following:

"the Hegseth Policy provide nothing to support Defendants’ view that
transgender military service is inconsistent with military readiness. So instead, Defendants turn
to the Action Memo."

"The Government
also concedes that, together, Plaintiffs have made America safer. The active-duty
Plaintiffs have adhered to all military standards and serve without accommodation."
*They've improved the country and with no additional requirements like Trump claims.
comment in response to

"The Government concedes that
each active-duty Plaintiff is honorable, truthful, and disciplined, and that each is currently
physically and mentally fit to serve. They have “served honorably” and
“have satisfied the rigorous standards” of military service..."
*So they meet performance standards
comment in response to

"...this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness
required of a service member.”
-Penned by the little guy who used family connections and "bone spurs" to evade the call of duty when his country was in need, often referring to service members as chumps and fools.
comment in response to
post
"It claims that “adoption of a gender identity inconsistent
with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and
disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his
requirement that others honor..."

Funny, 8 year old studies? What happened to that fancy review of transgender service member from 2025 you were touting? As an academic, it sounds like a pretty disingenuous study. This wouldn't be cherry picked to show a single point of view over prevailing current evidence would it?
comment in response to
post
"An “Action Memo” claims the Policy “was informed through
consideration of” three studies and cost data. Who considered
the information, however, is anyone’s guess; Defendants do not know. Maybe no one, because
one study is eight years old and the other two support Plaintiffs’ position."
comment in response to
post
"COURT: There’s nothing [supporting these assertions] in the studies; right?
DEFENSE: That says those same things, no, Your
Honor, not that I know of.
COURT: [No study] says anything close to those things;
correct?
DEFENSE COUNSEL: Not that I know of, Your Honor."
Is any of it backed up. NOPE!
comment in response to
post
"COURT: Okay. And if I asked you about all the other words
in [the Military Ban], with respect to the characterization of
transgender people or people with gender dysphoria, you would
have the same answer?
DEFENSE: Yes, Your Honor."
So they claim they stand by the hateful rhetoric
