Having a child with a 504 & an IEP puts me right in the cross hairs of the department of education closure. Big unknowns ahead.

It was pretty obvious we're headed down this path. Just another article confirming it.

I do wonder how quickly SCOTUS can act on the growing pipeline coming up (hopefully) soon e.g. how do they prioritize cases, will they defer a bunch of already scheduled ones to take on all/many of the new Trump ones.

Trump administration unfazed by court losses and sets sights on Supreme Court | CNN Politics

SCOTUS is just part of the equation. The plan with this 2nd administration is to flood the judicial and some of these cases are going to land in front of a sympathetic judge. If they attack immigration policy from 100 different angles all at the same time the judicial can't keep up and some stuff is going to get through and get abused for some time even in the event SCOTUS eventually rules against them.

Our commerce secretary made a TV appearance to urge people to buy stock in a company owned by a billionaire working within the administration. I have to assume that's illegal as hell but Elon can just fire anyone that investigates.

Also the stuff that is being broken along the way cannot be put back together again if a court intervenes. Feature not a bug.

It's basically what Trump did in business: lock up everything in litigation and then continue what you're doing anyway until the legal process has finally, fully, been exhausted. The main difference being that he only needs to stall through the judiciary for 4 years. And if he gets the chance to replace Sotomayor, Kagan, or Roberts, he'll likely have a SCOTUS who will let him do whatever he wants anyway. Win-win-win.

Trump is now threatening to send US citizens to be tortured in El Salvador.

I'm surprised this didn't become a bigger deal.

He's just joking, but also Trump is a straight shooter and means everything he says.

Thanks, Joe Rogan.

There's plenty of other countries to pick fights with, Canada is just not one of them ... especially since about 60% of US crude comes from Canada.



Likely won't affect Trump much, but maybe some of their shared supporters will gravitate towards Rogan's POV.

Commerce Secretary is floating the idea of seniors not getting their Social Security checks for a month as a way to find fraud.

Good fucking luck with that.

Lots of good stuff in the article, worth the read. Nothing surprising but article has some polling nos.

Just a moment...
I vote for more moderate but I can easily see them go more left, as the old guard fades, and roll the dice on younger leaders.

They did go moderate and got their ass kicked. Just as they did in 2016. How many times can you trust Lucy to hold that football for you?

They always go more moderate and sometimes that wins. I don't think policy matters much once you have a brand, though. If they could commit to fighting for anything it would be a good start.

I think weve seen that in todays world the candidate and their vibes are more important than their policy and positions

There's a picture of his signature on this order. Is his signature faked? Is his mind total mush? There should be some followup.

Auto-pen!

Trump ordered DoJ and DHS to go after any attorneys who sue the government.

When was the last time that won?

I'm so old I remember 2020.

I'm 100% for this. If there's one thing the vast swathes of MAGA voters in Appalachia and other similar parts of the country hate more than anything, it's anyone fucking with "their" ill-gotten SSDI "draw". I know literally nothing has turned them off Trump, but this might.

Surprised JD "Hillbily Elegy Couch Fucker" Vance didn't tell Trump this.

He ran on student loan forgiveness, free college, raising the minimum wage, universal preschool, paid family leave, ending wars, expanding public health, increasing SS, and huge plans for infrastructure upgrades and clean energy. They were talking about it as New Deal-esque. One of the most progressive campaigns a Dem has run in ages.

Dude. You can't simultaneously complain about Dems rigging the primary for centrists while also saying Biden was the left most candidate.

dola

Last night Trump signed an EO that makes all data held by the government available to every department head and demands that states turn over any data collected by any program that has federal funding. There will be one giant database of all of our information, tax returns, mortgage info, health records, education records, everything.

It's a step towards a police state.

Biden ran in 2020 on "I'm not Trump", which implied "Vote for me and the insanity will stop and I won't do anything too crazy."

Solid work from Trump/Elon.

IRS predicts $500 billion in uncollected tax revenues this season, due mostly to DOGE-forced staffing cuts encouraging tax evasion.

Almost makes you wonder which tyrannical government the gun toting crazies were looking to defend themselves against?

The Trump administration has banned VA employee benefits reps from contacting attorneys from the Office of Soldier's Counsel, their attorneys, without political approval. The VA uses the OSC to get the best benefits available for veterans by interpreting laws and regulations and also investigating shady doctors in network with the VA.

Basically, they're trying to indirectly make VA cuts by making sure Veterans don't get the benefits they should be receiving and aren't protected from bad doctors.

Just telling you what he campaigned on. Him and Bernie even sat down and put out a huge policy list. Don't you remember all the talk about Biden running as a New Deal President? Free college and pre-K were in all the commercials.

He actually sort of tried to fill those promises too the first year or so. Then shifted his whole Presidency to Ukraine and deep throating Israel.

The administration going after law firms, and at least one (Paul Weiss) backing down, is extremely troubling. This is fucking terrible. No one has a backbone. Money over everything. Next step is apparently trying to intimidate immigration attorneys. And the GOP, lead by Bondi's brother, is attempting to take over the DC bar.

Guys, we literally have the most incompetent people handling our most important positions. My guess is Secretary Pete was three sheets to the wind when he texted the war plans to a newspaper editor.

He should resign and be charged, but of course none of that will happen

C'mon, it's not like he was storing highly classified documents in his bathroom or something.

Trump says he's putting a 25% tariff on all products from countries that buy oil from Venezuela. Not sure how that works with Chevron's oil from Venezuela that comes into the U.S.

Still no statements from Schumer or Jeffries. Dems just do not play at anywhere close to the right speed. This will be gone tomorrow in part because there's no organized response from Dems.

Dog Killer announced today they are going to start working on dismantling FEMA. Should work out well for poor red states prone to hurricanic and tornados, especially when you combine it with gutting NOAA. IT will legit be line 1887 on the plains.

Schumer is doing a book tour. Cut him some slack.




Schumer still thinks the GOP is going to turn on Trump without outside pressure.

Atocep: I read a guy claiming the payroll system for the VA is fucked up. Have you heard anything?

Nothing yet. The wife and I's VA doesn't usually hit until the 26th-28th.

We have Hegseth leaking strike plans, Trump saying he knows nothing about it, Russia and Ukraine ignoring their partial ceasefire, and Witkoff admitting that Hamas "duped" him.

Is this the global respect MAGA keeps chest thumping about?

Isn't mistakenly texting classified DoD information through an unapproved method worse than whatever Hillary was doing a decade ago.

No, she was DEI

I don't know if they'll arrest Goldberg, but I'm quite certain they are going to threaten to arrest him.

Josh Hawleys comments on this tell you everything you need to know about the current GOP. All hypocrisy and zero accountability.

Trump said he's a good man, so everything is fine.

Waltz is likely forced to resign. No one else will see any consequences. Hegseth is still saying it didn't happen and attacking the reporter's credibility despite everyone else admitting it happened. Tulsi is trying to run with "no classified information was shared" but won't release anything from the chat because it's classified.

Let me get this straight. The exact time, units, targets and source to be used to determine damage of a military attack is not classified. The time a deportation plane took off is. Make it make sense!

Rep. Crockett's shot at Gov. Abbott as Gov. Hotwheels is really ugly and counterproductive.
