Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

This should be a wake-up call for all Americans. They have replaced our Stars & Stripes - the flag conservatives supposedly revere - with the flag used by the nine states to first secede from the Union. This is a signal - civil war is not off the table for them...

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?
Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

There’s a big lawsuit everyone should know about. It’s the one that could boot Elon Musk and the DOGE dudes out of Treasury and kill their access to our payment systems. Learn about it in my write-up: https://buff.ly/4jMI4pO

Leaving this here: The White Rose was founded in 1942 by several students at the University of Munich. The members were united against Nazi policies and began writing and distributing leaflets calling on the German people to take action to stop injustice and genocide.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

A conservative group backed by a grant from the Heritage Foundation has set up a "DEI Watchlist" with dossiers on civil servants it claims pushed DEI policies at US agencies.
The site shows information and photos of the workers it labels as "targets." Most of those named are minorities or women.
