Good. He needs to answer for what he's done. As a FORMER reader I hope Neil Gaiman gets what he deserves.

A President cannot unilaterally abolish a government agency via executive order. Should Trump try to do this to the Department of Education, Democrats in Congress are going to fight tooth and nail to stop him. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The same is taking place at the GSA. https://newrepublic.com/post/190970/elon-musk-gsa-government-buildin…

“Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week,” AOC wrote. “Air traffic controllers—already understaffed—got Trump’s ‘buyout’ this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI—it’s him. And Elon too.”

Wipe your chin, Lindsey Graham.

Israel lobbies Trump to delay withdrawal of its troops from Lebanon

In a recent move, the Trump administration has directed federal health agencies to halt all forms of external communication. This includes suspending health advisories, scientific reports, and website updates. We are so fucked. www.devdiscourse.com/article/heal...

Watch as AOC calls out all of Congress who is “lining their pockets” with private prison money who will have to answer eventually for the corporate incarceration catastrophe they have caused. (Watch Raskin jump in the yield her more time. 😉)
