There’s been zero explanation for this given but it seems exceedingly likely it’s pure retaliation for the Maine governor challenging Trump. Really sick.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns
The change — immediately criticized by pediatric health advocates — eliminates a program that allowed parents to fill out a form at the hospital to secure a Social Security number for their children.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

It’s fascinating to be a trans woman in this moment because there are millions of non-trans men in this country who think our fully-clothed existence is somehow inappropriate — yet these are the same men who have spent the past 72 hours gleefully sharing pics of Bianca Censori on the red carpet.

Elon Musk used all the freedoms and opportunities of the USA, the country that defeated the Nazis, to become the wealthiest human being on earth.
So how does he return the favor?
He salutes the Nazis, then leads in the destruction of the Country made him.
To me- that’s as traitorous as it gets.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.
To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
