Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.
They want us all eradicated.

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

New Executive Order aiming to have anyone deemed "homeless" or "with mental illness" committed.
This is not an attempt to compassionately solve homelessness. This is an attempt to get a semblance of legal backing to concentrate more people in prison camps.

The strategy? If D.C. refuses to pay what it owes, states like Connecticut, Maryland, New York, and Wisconsin could withhold federal payments in return.

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that DOGE is subject to government transparency laws, allowing the public to access government records—a legal defeat for the White House, which had designated DOGE as an office exempt from open records laws.

The best way to dethrone a narcissist (or two) is to laugh at them. Props to whatever hero or heroes did this.
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Finally an honorable Republican in Congress sticks his neck out to stand up for what is right. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), former FBI agent and former federal prosecutor. He knows what this country is supposed to be about.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.
