Judge Reyes is asking if the DoD cited a Beyonce album in their anti-trans policy, would the attorney demand she ignore common sense and just listen to the album.
DoJ attorney has no idea how to respond.

Musk lied (big surprise, huh?) when he said the youngsters working for him at DOGE are not being paid and also when he said DOGE is maximally transparent. They are making 6-figure incomes at taxpayer expense. www.wired.com/story/doge-g...
Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries
Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

You know how Brussels Sprouts taste a lot better than they did in the 80s, and sales more than doubled in the US as a result, putting Vitamins A, B6, C and K in our diets? That was the work of an innovation lab. They were able to reduce the bitterness to make the nutrients easier to consume.
Hey ho.
There are already impacts on all of us since Trump closed USAID. This soy research lab is just one of many bad consequences for America.

I hope foreign governments are looking at the US and thinking: We cannot be lax, we cannot let terrible things become normal things, we cannot follow them down this path and lose our democratic institutions. I hope they strengthen their own democracies and cut out the rot like we should have.

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin:

"No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

On day ONE, Trump removed the U.S. from WHO, disc. CDC and other health communications, froze funds for life supporting programs and fired security experts.

TSA, FAA protections and DEI air traffic controllers were fired 8 days ago.

Trump is endangering our lives.

I’m relieved to hear that Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire and a hostage release deal.

This will allow a surge in humanitarian aid to Gaza and puts the region on a stronger path towards peace.

Grateful to President Biden for getting this long-awaited deal done.

According to the CBO, extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich would shrink the economy over the long run.

Extending the cuts would also increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion and be used by Republicans as an excuse to gut programs millions rely on.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Since no one at DoJ will hold Trump accountable when he breaks the law - and he will break the law - we are going to need to rely on lawsuits to block him and slow him down. That's why we should all support the good work of @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com.
