Trump just vowed to sex-test every female Olympian in 2028. That’s right…mandatory genital inspections. New task force already in motion.
Personally, I’d love to see every country refuse to come to the Olympics in 2028…and announce it…now.

Yes. Failure to impeach, convict, and remove is an active choice
Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress could put a stop to this at any time.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can.
ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.
And here in NYC today another shocking escalation by Trump.
The law *explicitly allows* unannounced visits by congressmembers to federal facilities.
This is yet another breach of democratic norms by an increasingly rogue administration. Don't normalize this.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

A push to impeach judges not for misconduct but defying Trump? Refusal to honor a court order to turn around planes? Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act outside wartime? A budget clearing him to ignore Congress? Jailing students?

If blue states, invented a method to withhold transfers to the IRS, we'd be in a much better negotiating position. Moneys transferred could be ( for instance ;-) dependent on payments made and programs continued, records maintained and aid distributed.
