Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

Trump bought millions in bonds of Elon Musk's SpaceX. Two days later, he signed a national space launch policy. Then, after handing out science medals to his tech buddies, Trump announced America was in a new "golden age" of innovation while slashing science budgets. Link to the full show below ⬇️

UPDATE: Judge April Perry denies the government's bid to keep all of this under seal — including the attorney's signature block. "The government has also publicly disclosed … that there is an OPR investigation in this case."
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's motion to seal 275 is denied. As already noted, the grand jury transcripts in this matter have already been made public - without any opposition from the Government. The Government has also publicly disclosed - in both court filings and open court - the fact that there is an OPR investigation in this case involving the prosecutors who were in the grand jury. See, e.g., Doc. 247 at 48-49. In addition to those two matters, the Government has also asked to seal the "Legal Principles" section of its motion, which sets forth basic principles of law, and the signature block of one of its attorneys. There is a presumption that materials that underpin a judicial decision are open to public inspection unless they meet very specific criteria. See Baxter Intern., Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544, 545 (7th Cir. 2002). No such criteria are present here. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal 272 . Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/09/2026)

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the U.S.
Department of War announced that the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the man convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, would be publicly livestreamed. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement sharply condemning the decision of the U.S. government:
"It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan. Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan's actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: 'do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.United States

This is probably at least partially related to Trump II's closer alliance with the REL community (rationalists, effective altruists, long-termists), whose strange & complicated ethical systems tend to valorize wealth and prioritize the needs of imagined populations thousands of years in the future.

I'm not saying it has taken the morally worst actions of any presidency. That dubious honor would probably go to presidencies like Jackson and A. Johnson. But in terms of explicitly and outwardly rejecting Christian virtues, and almost rejoicing in doing so, I'm not sure Trump II can be topped.

You could start with the least outwardly pious and even aggressive anti-pious president ever to hold the office. And go on down to the celebration of vice and cruelty as virtues unto themselves. And add in the celebration of billionaires and wealth as an inherent moral positive.

This goes against the intuitions of a lot of older people who were socialized into the party alignment of the 1970s-1980s-1990s. But you could make a case that the Trump second term is the most directlyand outwardly anti-Christian presidency in American history.

I'm sure things like this happened at times during "don't ask, don't tell," but it seems rather notable that the panel did so here and quickly, did so explicitly and in writing, and did so in this environment — both as in this administration and as in this broader anti-trans moment.
