Did you know that there’s only five transgender athletes competing on girls’ teams in school sports for grades K through 12.
All of this legislation, work, lobbying and anger – is aimed at preventing a tiny handful of young people. It’s really more about pleasing his hateful base. 🔄

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress
Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

The media insists on talking about “What is Trump’s political strategy?”

Sweet Jesus. The “Strategy” is destruction. Please, stop f*cking pretending that it’s anything else.

You gotta fuckin’ fight! You gotta flood the zone! You have to nail them to the wall and pin this abject failure to them relentlessly.
The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.
A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

The point isn’t about Newsom himself or any individual politician.

The point is we need opposition leadership that isn’t afraid to say in clear terms that we are on the verge of a dark, dysfunction autocratic abyss and doesn’t fear opprobrium or being physical harmed for saying that.
Newsom has proven himself to be incapable of reading the room at this moment

The only thing worse than the revolutionary overthrow of Trumpreich--which is coming immanently--is to do nothing and allow these creatures to entrench themselves. NO, they won't be voted out! Disillusion yourself from the idea that we can simply vote them away.

Trump is in MarALago and Musk, his mom and one of his 13 kids that we know of are are staying at the White House. Telling.
🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.

WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

US government, which self-describes itself as "deeply in debt" to justify staffing cuts across agencies, is also supporting the House budget blueprint, which would increase the deficit by more than $2.8 trillion thanks to a massive tax cut for the nation's wealthiest. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
