Likewise, every court case may not be going our way, and the administration's fidelity to court orders is flimsy, but so far judgments have successfully stopped or changed Trump's course on many fronts. A legal strategy is not a political strategy, both must happen in parallel.

I don’t think any person has ever sickened me as much.
The Trump admin has posted stigmatizing notes at the top of CDC, HHS and FDA websites it's been forced by a judge to restore. These include websites for people struggling with mental health issues.

I called on Secretary Bessent to answer why and how he gave Elon Musk and his cronies permission to access government payment systems.
The response back raises more questions than answers.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Our deep dive into Musk's takeover: Even some officials who like what Musk is doing feel helpless to hold him accountable. His allies are diving in to agencies, gaining access to systems, planning layoffs, and proposing a sweeping AI initiative to review contracts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters.
This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be.
It's about making an effort.
