From a filing today, the State Department intends to revoke and replace transgender people's passports that are changed under a current court order if a higher court reverses the order.
This would be a major problem for trans people traveling.

every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials.
if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc.
They did something.
Reward them.

CDC has never had authority to give or enforce mandates. CDC is essentially an advisor. States implement that advice to varying degrees. When republicans say they want to reform CDC's authority they mean remove the ability to make recommendations. This is exactly what Project 2025 calls for.

If you call because your social security check didn't arrive you are a "fraudster".
Unbelievable. You paid into SSA your whole life. That money is yours.
In 2025 SSA benefits represented ~31% of income of people over 65. Seniors NEED this.

💉🧵There is a concerning trend toward banning mRNA vaccines. Idaho, Montana, and Iowa have introduced proposals to ban or restrict mRNA vaccine use. What are mRNA vaccines and how do they work?

Don't forget that Trump is an adjudicated rapist. He was judged by a jury of his peers and found by a preponderance of the evidence that he did sexually assault a E. Jean Carol, and the judge clarified that it was, but for a statutory technicality, actually rape.
