Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.
old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”
Agreed with Gillian here.
If you called your Senator (or didn't) to tell them to vote against a trans sports ban, it's important that you also call them and thank them for their vote.
NO Democrat broke on this.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.
“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.
“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

Happy Stef Day!!! 💖🏳️⚧️🥰
Democratic leaders:
I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.
Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.
Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.
"Others have reached out to ask me how I’m doing, and I appreciate that. I’m thankful for the empathy. I’m not doing great."

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.
People need to understand this is a smash and grab. The billionaire oligarchs are looting the government right now. While most services and functions will be privatized and made worse, the real valuable heist is the data government has that Elon is stealing to feed his AI company.
This is true. Puberty blockers was a compromise between just starting regular HRT at regular puberty ages and the no youth transition ever position.
I call on my fellow democratic candidates to denounce any county endorsement made without democratic process. I will participate but I won’t stay silent in a broken system.

Remembering Sam Nordquist this morning. All of our love to Sam and his family and community today.
Rest in Peace.
it was bad when the worst poster on my favorite website bought that website and made it terrible but it has been worse having that person also buy my country that i live in
Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.
Remember when every June meant rainbow logos, #LoveIsLove campaigns, and corporations falling over themselves to prove they were allies? It was corny, sure. But it was also loud and visible. And then it was gone. 🏳️🌈🧵
Trump’s executive orders are not law.
This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it.
Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.
We’ve filed suit against the Office of Personnel Management and the Department of Government Efficiency. We are asking the court to block data sharing and force DOGE to destroy any downloaded sensitive data from the OPM database.
A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power illegally through the actions of themselves or their supporters. The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers. Other measures may include annulling the constitution, suspending civil courts, and having the head of government assume dictatorial powers.
Get really familiar with this concept because that's what is happening right now. We will no longer have free and fair elections. Democracy is dead. It was murdered in broad daylight by a TV gameshow host and a ketamine addled afrikaaner man child.
1. Big win for trans students in New Jersey.
In a pair of rulings, an appellate court upheld preliminary injunctions banning the forced outing of trans students.

Just hours after filing suit against Trump for gutting NIH funding to our universities and research institutions- we have secured a court order halting these draconian cuts.
Life-saving research will continue on cancer, diseases, and more.
We will never stop standing up for you.
When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
JD Vance and I both went to law school at the same time, but apparently only one of us paid attention.
Think a judge's order is wrong? Great - go ahead and appeal it.
But you can't simply ignore it.
This is simple: will you commit to follow the rule of law or not?
not sure Snoop Dogg fresh off performing at Trump’s inauguration is the best spokesperson for Stand Up To Hate tbh
"If the Times editorial board now believes that Trump has driven the anti-trans bus too far down the road, they need to contend with the fact that they took the lead in paving that road."
A NYT editorial headline with a black background and white text. The headline reads: 'Trump’s Shameful Campaign Against Transgender Americans,' published by 'The Editorial Board' under the 'Opinion' section. The publication date and time are February 9, 2025, at 6:00 a.m. ET."
Now the New York Times wants to act appalled at transphobia they helped normalize.
I am going to become the joker.
