A Gutted Education Department’s New Agenda: Roll Back Civil Rights Cases, Target Transgender Students
—

The Trump administration is subverting the traditional priorities of the department’s decimated civil rights office by making discrimination investigations practically impossible — instead enforcing its own anti-diversity campaign.

Ed Martin, Trump's pick for D.C. U.S. District Attorney, ghostwrote online attacks against an Illinois judge with whom he was in a legal dispute.

We obtained emails that show Martin bought a laptop for the woman who made the posts and coached her on how to make them look organic: https://www.propublica.org/article/ed-martin-trump-interim-dc-us-attorney-secret-judge-attacks?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post

When #Trump became president I setup a #Ghost website but I don't have time to add posts to it

It's inspired by Molly's @web3isgreat

https://trumpisgoinggreat.com

Maybe some people on here feel a calling for posting all chaos Trump has caused so far on here?

Kind of a sum up of all that is happening since it's so much..

DM would be fine

Maybe, instead of haphazardly deploying armed troops on US city streets, #Trump should be deploying them at #Israel embassies and consulates across Amerikkka to keep them from 🔥BURNING🔥. #globalsumudflotilla

For the past two years, religious and humanitarian organizations have provided food and aid to migrants at a camp near Sasabe, Arizona. Just before Donald Trump took office, volunteers were told to clear off federal land.

How DOGE’s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save
—

The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks.

“We Feel Terrorized”: What EPA Employees Say About the Decision to Stay or Go Under Trump

More than 300 career employees at the Environmental Protection Agency have left. Those who remain face a painful decision: resign or work for an administration that plans to radically reshape the EPA while reversing environmental protections.

The Trump administration’s slickly produced videos of an immigration raid at a Chicago apartment building in September showed federal agents rappelling from a helicopter and banging down doors. These are the stories of the people who were inside.

Internal VA Emails Reveal How Trump Cuts Jeopardize Veterans’ Care, Including To “Life-Saving Cancer Trials”

Despite a congressional mandate to expand care for veterans, internal Veterans Affairs messages obtained by ProPublica paint a stark portrait of how chaotic cost cutting has already imperiled tests of treatments for cancer, opioid addiction and more.

In Eric we have the heir to a #political dynasty so corrupt it saddens Tammany Hall, b/c they’re not here to stand and clap. A guy whose gums allow you to shelter-in-place during EF4 tornadoes. Whose existence makes it so when you say the “the dumb Trump son,” you’re somehow not talking about Don Jr."

Apparently, Canadian journalist Dean Blundell got the goods... #letter #trump

This IS exactly as described in the WSJ article, complete with "Donald" being used as pubes. The letter made up a page in a leather-bound book of birthday wishes, collected by Ghislaine Maxwell for #epstein 's 50th birthday, in January 2003... one year before the real estate squabble that caused the friendship to break up.
