A reporter asked if Trump would order the removal of trans flags in DC. Trump says he wouldn't oppose it but says he could get around lawsuits by arguing it incites violence.

The reporter follows up by asking if he would label trans people as a domestic terror threat to ban the trans flag.

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

Last month, I talked to Mark Dimondstein, the president of the American Postal Workers Union. He warned me that this could happen following Trump's efforts to privatize USPS during his first term. This not only threatens workers—people rely on USPS for essentials like medicine.

I cannot stress enough that the American people protested, donated, subscribed, and voted in record numbers in 2018 and 2020 and then those institutions that they propped up in opposition to Trump sought to accommodate him instead. And here we are.
I continue to think that we won’t see a 2017-style liberal media addiction/subscription surge. Anger at how the media covered this, no more sense that something could break and end his presidency… I just see a lot of people tuning out for a bit.
