So just to get this straight….
We’re shutting down USAID, sowing distrust and ill will in the places that most need help but that also have some of the most desperately poor people in the world. And maybe in their desperation and search for personal control,

Take down evidence-based information but put TikTok back online. Makes sense.
The government website and key resource for abortion rights information was seemingly taken down just hours after Trump assumed office.

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

"Repro rights advocates say GA's decision to dismiss & restructure its committee also could have a chilling effect on the committee’s work, potentially dissuading its members from delving as deeply as they have into the circumstances of pregnant women’s deaths if it could be politically sensitive."
Georgia officials have dismissed all members of the state's Maternal Mortality Review Committee, which is charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women, in response to ProPublica's reporting on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller.

Mace has stated “I’m a survivor of sexual abuse. I can tell you right now, I am never going to allow a biological man in any women’s private spaces.”
Let’s say it again for those in the cheap seats: your problem is with violent and predatory men, not trans women.

This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.

Just so we’re clear - it was always about retribution, never about cutting waste.
We worry about attack ads and this is them from 10 mini ago. Openly blackmailing with no fear of retribution.

This lengthy PROOF report will grow with each new Trump administration nomination or pick. It offers a written assessment of each pick, with a color-coded grade-assignment system. I used to be a university professor, so I take grading very seriously—particularly when it comes to a Cabinet like this.

Thanks to ProPublica for sharing this. Project 2025 made a video for all the new federal appointees. Summary of the first five minutes: You won’t know how to do your job and you shouldn’t ask for clarification. Figure it out as you go along by asking other people who also probably don’t know.
