“Don’t be fooled by Trump and Republicans pretending to care about protecting IVF."
It's Trump's fourth week on the job and he's already taking a week-long vacation in Florida. Tell me more about how nobody gets anything done when they work from home.

To put this in context, two of Trump's private attorneys, one now with the government and one with Adams, are pushing to dismiss the case against Adams

19.02.2025 23:39 — 👍 207 🔁 33 💬 6 📌 0WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of Education published the information collection for the 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA®) form in the Federal Register, the first public step in the FAFSA development process. The Department is on track to launch the 2026-27 FAFSA by Oct. 1, 2025 as mandated by the FAFSA Deadline Act. The Department also announced that current and future FAFSA forms will rightfully reflect the biological reality that there are only two sexes: male and female. Department officials will remove “nonbinary” as a gender identification option from the current year’s FAFSA form. “The Trump Administration will correct the failures of the last Administration and ensure students and families can easily access the FAFSA form in a timely manner,” said Acting Under Secretary James Bergeron. “Resolving ongoing problems with the 2024-25 form, reflecting biological reality by referencing sex identifiers, and beginning the process for the 2026-27 form on-time will allow the Department to earn back the trust of the American people. Families and students depend on the FAFSA form to plan their futures, and any release delays or unnecessary politicization of the form is wholly unacceptable.”

Department of Education FAFSA changes are open for public comment. The changes include requiring trans students to misgender themselves and removes the nonbinary option on forms. Note: comment period is 60 days, and comments are publicly visible.

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

Jim Jones, the director of the Food and Drug Administration's food division, resigned on Monday, citing what he called "indiscriminate" layoffs that would make it "fruitless for him to continue." In his resignation letter, Mr. Jones estimated that 89 people of the 2,000 in his division were fired over the weekend, many of them freshly hired to do more in-depth work on chemical safety to protect the nation's food supply. "I was looking forward to working to pursue the department's agenda of improving the health of Americans by reducing diet-related chronic disease and risks from chemicals in food," Mr. Jones wrote in the letter submitted to Sara Brenner, the acting commissioner of the F.D.A. But the Trump administration's "disdain for the very people" who would do that work gave him no choice but to depart, he said.
Messing with food safety seems especially disruptive to American life. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...
