The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.
We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.
This is inhumane and illegal.

More awful on top of horrible on top of pretty much catastrophic.
30-90 days sounds about right.
DOGE and Dudek are trying to hide the immediate impact by shifting support employees to "public facing" positions without training. Wait times might even go down! But the errors and backlog will be catastrophic.

I saw this coming and have been scrambling to educate folks about the risk. It has mostly fallen on deaf ears.
Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.

Retaliatory tariffs from both Mexico and Canada.
Trump says he’ll raise tariffs to 50% if they retaliate.
Naturally, they’ll retaliate again, and every day Americans (and Canadians) will pay for this crisis entirely of Trump’s making
