Today, my rights amongst all disabled people’s rights in the United States are at risk. In fact, it’s alarming. Let me share with you what’s going on.
Currently, there is a lawsuit threatening essential protections under Section 504. The Texas v. Becerra lawsuit includes 17 Republican-led states suing the U.S. government to remove Section 504 which is a legal bedrock for disability civil rights.

With #Congress Pliant, an Emboldened #Trump Pushes His Business Interests
Norms recognized for decades in DC by both parties no longer appear to apply to Trump, fmr prosecutors & #ethics lawyers say.
The Oval Office meeting convened by Trump brought together the most important leaders in the world of pro #golf: Jay Monahan, the top exec at the #PGA Tour, &, via telephone, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the chairman of the #SaudiArabia-backed league known as #LIVGolf.

OFFS indeed. They should just ship all the tests to anyone who requests them up to ten per family🤢 . Or, if they don't want to do the right thing, they could sell them for $1.00 each. USPS could deliver them for free and that would raise $160 million which could be used to pay down the debt, bolster social security, rehire some air traffic controllers, or a million other worthwhile uses.
But they'll just trash them because when it comes to stupid, wasteful, and evil, this administration is #1 by far. 🤢

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

@GottaLaff thanks. Yeah, "the President has the authority to do this, because he can fire people who don't bow to his every whim" is not how lawful authority, especially in a democracy, works. Giving into this as "this is just the way it works" is disrespectful of every decision that was ever arrived at through a legal and democratic process.
And anything that can be changed on some old man whim can be changed to something else just as fast.

FDA cuts hit AI division, even as Trump invests in the technology: The office has a strained relationship with Musk’s company Neuralink https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/16/fda-layoffs-center-for-devices-radiological-health-cdrh-artificial-intelligence-doge/ via @statnews.com

That's insane. That's 15,000 Americans without jobs and countless Americans who won't get their tax refunds in a timely manner from understaffing.
A lot of people rely on their tax return money coming.
Again, we know this stuff. But it’s up to us to make sure Trump voters and non-voters do.
Democrats weren’t doing this stuff. And the money taken from these salaries is going to Musk and Trump, not us.

These fuckers.
“Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, according to two people familiar with the activities, sparking alarm within the tax agency.” - Washington Post

If you are a foreign dignitary visiting Germany and you shun the chancellor in favour of the leader of the Nazi party, then you are a Nazi.
Your boss going in on a property deal with Israel over stolen land doesn't change that fact.

In former ages, Trumpsky would be flogged, crucified, cut up into a thousand pieces, and fed to rabid maggots, and the people would feel they were serving God, and would sing, and dance in the streets. My friends, a Russian traitor cannot be the president of America, it's a biblical calamity.

Don't worry, our new Secretary of Wellness Again will conjure an organic gluten free detox of rotting whale heads, sheep dewormer, magic crystals, and Elon Musk's ball sweat that will have this disease licked in no time.

Oh geez
"The DOGE website is wide open and vulnerable to hackers, according to reporting from 404 Media. Two coders had already infiltrated the site and left their own messages on it at the time of 404’s reporting on Thursday evening: “THis is a joke of a .gov site,” said one, and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro” said another." https://www.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-doge-website-super-140132005.html?guccounter=1

USPol, McConnell
Tellingly, McConnell only voted against Trump's picks when he knew it wouldn't make a difference. That's not bravery, responsibility, or anything of the sort. That's the kind of mealy-mouthed 'morality' which the GOP pass around whenever they want to go, oh, what's the phrase? 'Virtue signalling.'
Yertle's gonna have to do a lot more than just a dead vote if he expects us to accept, in any way, the whitewashing of his entire career.
