A woman’s right to vote, inviolable for 105 years, right? Reminder, 2016 Republican Convention Speaker Abby Johnson, supported Household Voting w/the one household vote belonging to men. The same Christian Nationalist agenda is supported by Hegseth. But hey, like Roe, that won’t ever change, right?

We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.

Important for all of us but especially journalists.
Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

What happens when an executive order overturns midterm elections when all these republicans are voted out of off for gross dereliction of duty? We have no Congressional leaders or Justice Dept leaders willing to fight against Trump. And now the Pentagon is being reshaped in Trumps image.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger.

Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

This has serious consequences for all media in our nation. If Trump is able to wield his power and influence to silence outlets, it will have a chilling effect on anyone who would consider reporting facts that the president disagrees with.

Tell Paramount and CBS to fight Trump’s meritless lawsuit.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.
