No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.
Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.
But here is what we do know. (1/7)

Executive orders are mostly statements of intent, many of them illegal or at least opposed to the laws of the land enacted by Congress. Massive litigation will follow. This happened in 2017, but he seemed to have a less competent crew behind him them.
These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

They shut down their own app for a day, then turned it back on thanking Trump. What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of the Tik Tok owners, Trump, and all his sycophants who reversed their positions on it one second after he did for no reason other than he did.

Here is what Andy Slavitt, President Obama‘s head of Medicare and Medicaid shared during the first attempted repeal of the ACA (which was called the AHCA) in 2017. A repeal of this program in 2024 will have more dire consequences. Please share EVERYWHERE!
