Don’t Listen to Greasy Gavin Newsom. Listen to Trans Athletes.
In a podcast with Charlie Kirk, the California governor put his electoral ambition ahead of trans people. But what do trans athletes themselves have to say?

But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Trump is using campus protest as a gateway to prohibit all protest in the long run. This is a long game to dismantle First Amendment protections. I hope that's obvious to everyone.

This is an excellent summary of our situation, which is quite bad.
It’s not just that they’re breaking laws. They’re breaking laws that are centrally important to our constitutional order and are constitutive of its identity. They are targeting the best parts of what democracy has built here.

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.
Breaking the Law
Just weeks in, the Trump administration has violated rules, laws, and the Constitution.

Moving our accounts to a credit union continues to look like a smart move.
I think this is our future unless someone stops him. Musk’s plan for X has been for it to replace the entire banking system. His keen interest in seizing control of Treasury payments (and its tech) may forebode an intention to have such payments go through X www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/2...

Pretty distressed at how Dems are responding to this bill to let Trump get another term. It’s an attack on democracy—not a meme generator related to a third Obama term (the bill precludes that anyway, and Obama doesn’t want one) or a chance to joke about Trump aging.
It is. An attack. On democracy.

Seriously. I sue drug companies, you don't have to tell me they suck, nor explain to me the risks of pharmaceuticals.
But vaccines are different, they're like stealing fire from the Gods and burning plagues with it. Their benefit/risk ratio is downright magical.

Welker: Economists of all stripes say that ultimately, consumers pay the price of tariffs.
Trump: I don't believe that.
Welker: Can you guarantee American families won't pay more?

Child allowances, free public universities, and public health insurance provision are not "hand-outs"; they are smart social policies that countries that aren't deeply dysfunctional and cruel provide their citizens because they make everything (including the economy) better.
