The Trump administration gave transgender troops an ultimatum when it announced that it wanted them all out of the military: leave voluntarily or wait to be forced out. Now, the deadline for making that choice is here, and many trans troops say they will stay and fight.

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies.

This is a terrible self-own, particular at a time when we are trying to compete with China on AI, EV technology, etc. Not to mention that this will kill one of our strongest exports (higher ed), which a trade-deficit-obsessed president should theoretically care about.
Opinion | Trump is killing one of our strongest exports
The president wants to balance U.S. trade deficits? He can’t do it without this industry he hates.

Eric Blanc makes it clear: the stakes are existential. If Musk’s power grab isn’t stopped, vital public services will be gutted & the rule of law further eroded. Federal workers, their unions & allies have the power to stop Musk by exposing the devastating impact of DOGE’s cuts on everyday Americans
How we stop Elon Musk
Americans will not stand idly by as billionaires break the law to destroy our vital services.
