RFK Jr was just confirmed.
The man who vehemently disagrees with vaccinating children…The man who believes covid vaccines don’t work.
He’s now the Head of Health and Human services.
There are no words for how devastating this appointment will be for Americans. Especially our most vulnerable.

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB?
Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors.

I honestly don't understand how someone who has read a thing in their life could deny that Trumpism is fascism at this point. But then I felt the same way on 1/6/21, so I'm certain they'll figure something out.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Elon Musk keeps talking about saving taxpayers a few billion and government efficiency but the simplest and most efficient way for the government to recoup hundreds of billions all at once is to just take it from Elon Musk.

I hold a lot of disdain for the people who didn’t see this coming given P2025 but it does seem like the actual support for these goals is nonexistent, everyone who voted for him did so under the incredibly stupid assumption that he wouldn’t do this

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to...
-Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts
-Replace civil servants with his own cronies
-Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems
See the problem?

Someone go arrest this man because what is going on 🙃
Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated another government agency: the General Services Administration.
His former employees are trying to use White House credentials to access GSA's tech, giving them the potential to remote into laptops, read emails, and more:

I know Dems want to focus on the price of eggs but I do think “end of checks and balances,” “coup by Elon Musk,” “racism and cruelty,” “destruction of civil service and federal government,” and “total chaos leading to global collapse” are also things that might energize voters against the GOP

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
