This story doesn’t include the fact that GA GOP *did* hold a secret meeting to appoint false electors on Dec 14, 2020 as part of natl conspiracy to steal election. They initially lied to reporters, saying mtg was about education. georgiarecorder.com/2022/01/18/w... apnews.com/article/trum...

The ignorance of this decision will cause more suicides of young people. RFK jr ignores that in a fetus, genitals & brain develop in different months- usually gender matched. But occasionally there is a gender difference. People can be born as a female ( or male) with genitals of opposite sex

The person that the President's Chief of Staff described as "a right-wing absolute zealot" is our de facto President for domestic affairs. From @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/o...
Instead, the work of the White House has been delegated to a handful of high-level advisers. Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, is the de facto shadow president for domestic affairs. As one senior government official told ProPublica, “It feels like we work for Russ Vought. He has centralized decision-making power to an extent that he is the commander in chief.” It was Vought who orchestrated the administration’s assault on the federal bureaucracy, including the wholesale destruction of U.S.A.I.D. It was Vought who either froze or canceled hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for anti-poverty programs, H.I.V. reduction initiatives and research into science, medicine and technology. And it is Vought who has been pushing the boundaries of executive power as he attempts to turn the federal government into little more than an extension of the personal will of the president — as channeled through himself, of course.

This really is, as Sara says, INSANE memory-holing: Minutes after FCC Chairman Carr told Congress that the FCC "is not" an independent agency (see video below via @atrupar.com), the FCC website started getting scrubbed to remove that description.
Screenshot of a tweet from @sarafischer of Axios dated 17 Dec 2025, reading: "This is INSANE. I took this screenshot of the @FCC website at 11:52 a.m. ET where it explicitly states the FCC is an independent agency. 25 minutes later, it has been removed following Carr's comments during this hearing! See before and after screenshots below"

Did you know credit card companies can help prevent mass shootings by flagging suspicious, bulk purchasing of firearms & ammo? This would prevent horrific tragedies like the Vegas shooting. It's used for many products. But NRA-backed members of Congress are pushing legislation to block this tool.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!
