According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

“A very strange document” indeed
"[T]o put the issue of border security as the top objective in one’s national security strategy is a kind of a nativist madness that is more about cultural—and let’s be honest, racial—anxiety about immigration than it is about any tangible security threat," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org.
The Situation: Why Did the White House Write This National Security Strategy?

At a 2019 Trump rally in Greenville, NC I saw Trump attack Omar in same way, prompting same “send her back” chants
Remember it feeling risky to call it a “fascist” rally in headline at the time, because mainstream outlets still weren’t comfortable with that word… www.huffpost.com/entry/fascis...

Trump’s foreign policy isn’t “noninterventionism,” it is a kind of neo neo conservatism devoted to imposing authoritarian ethnonationalism abroad instead of democracy (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

My mom's really been pestering us for Christmas ideas for our kids, who can be tough to get stuff for.
But I hadn't thought of steel.
But I hadn't thought of steel.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Beyond the beyond. Where is he, who is around, and what is happening when he types these things
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

I think one of the biggest reasons it’s happening here is that many people still believe it can’t happen here.
One theme here is the speed of American institutional collapse.
“It took Erdoğan 15 years to do what Trump did in 100 days. If [Americans] do not accept the fact that this is a long game, and it will be brutal, I think you won’t have the patience and stamina to bear it.”

One way to think of the Trump Admin is as having SHIFTED the $$ we used to spend on curing cancer (and providing care to Veterans and protecting nature and etc) to snatching brown people off the streets.
Amid NIH funding delays, reversals and uncertainty, a scientist at Harvard who studies breast cancer has lost one-third of her lab employees and wonders if she can continue her research experiments. n.pr/4a4N3zD
After NIH grant cuts, breast cancer research at Harvard slowed, and lab workers left

The Senate is set to vote Thursday on whether to extend Obamacare health insurance subsidies that expire in 23 days. How Reps will engage remains up in the air, as the party struggles more broadly to reach consensus on a range of “affordability” issues.
