Hero.
These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.
Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

-Ended recognition of birthright citizenship
-Withdrew from WHO and Paris Climate Accord
-Rescinded Biden's EO to lower Rx costs
-Pardoned Jan 6 rioters
-Renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America
So much for helping working families.
Attorneys general from 18 states sued to block an executive order by President Trump that seeks to deny citizenship to babies born to unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. The states view Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship as “extraordinary and extreme.” nyti.ms/3E2qr53

Reminder that Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Google are each facing federal antitrust lawsuits.
They each gave cash hand over fist to Trump’s inaugural fund, which raked in a record $250 million.
When I say money in politics corrupts our system, this is what I’m talking about.
Sec. 2. Policy. (a) It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person's mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person's father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth, or (2) when that person's mother's presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person's father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth. (b) Subsection (a) of this section shall apply only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of this order.
🚨Trump issues executive order purporting to deny birthright citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants. (This is unconstitutional.) Starts in 30 days but will be challenged in court. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

NEW: The U.S. Supreme Court won't review a lawsuit alleging that Pennsylvania is violating federal law by rejecting mail-in ballots missing a correct hand-written date from voters on the return envelope. But the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will decide if these rejections violate the PA Constitution.

I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.
President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.

In his Inaugural Address, President Trump made inaccurate claims about the state of the economy, immigration, world affairs and federal and local investigations into his own conduct. Here’s a fact-check.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.
I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock
Remember to celebrate the man and true historic figure who deserves to be celebrated today. Honor him and the upcoming Black History Month by not giving DJT your energy as much as you can possibly help it. #MLKDay

On Monday, America will observe both the birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision of pluralism, democracy and racial justice made him the most revered civil rights leader of the last century, and the return to office of President-elect Donald Trump.

Going into Inauguration Day, remember that there were no false claims of fraud, no frivolous lawsuits, no violent insurrection, no threats and a peaceful transfer of power — but only because Donald Trump won.
Otherwise, things would be a lot different.
One thing is for certain over the next 4 years: advocacy groups will file hundreds of lawsuits to hold the Trump administration accountable for violating civil rights.
Democracy Docket will cover these lawsuits. Subscribe for free:
As TikTok fights a federal law that bans it in the U.S. unless it is sold, it publicly referenced and thanked President-elect Donald Trump for his support in statements and videos since Friday. It even built its flattery directly into the app so its 170 million American users could see it.
