Fun one from today that nobody seems to be clocking amidst all the more substantive chaos. The White House comms department is now declaring that Trump can now "sign [an] executive order into law" without a bill passing Congress. Have never seen this language from a prior White House.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

A new OMB memo lists programs potentially affected by Trump's (illegal) funding freeze. The list does nothing to dispel confusion, since it includes programs (SNAP, Head Start) that OMB now claims are unaffected. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25... First reported by @jennifershutt.bsky.social

🚨Trump's pause on federal grants, loans and other spending is intended to draw litigation that his most radical advisers think he can win in the Supreme Court, and render Congress irrelevant in the governmental order. This is a big one, folks.🚨 prospect.org/politics/202...

freezing a third of the federal budget is nearly too big to grasp, but the OMB memo probably sinks the economy if adhered to long? someone will pitch “sensible compromise” like “just ban trans healthcare” vs “economic ruin” & when that feels sensible, i want you to sit with what you’re ok with.

The brazen power grab by the oligarchs to create a techno feudalist state is pushing the US towards revolution. Whenever such a wealthy few seek to exert total control over the masses without democratic accountability, a violent revolution becomes inevitable. Their greed put the US on this path.
