"They stood, diplomas in hand, having met every standard of physical endurance, academic excellence, and military discipline. But when the time came for the US Air Force Academy’s class of 2025 to commission as second lieutenants, 3 cadets were quietly held back..." www.advocate.com/news/transge...

Cadets who met all Air Force Academy graduation standards denied commissions because they’re transgender
Three students graduated from the prestigious service academy after years of hard work, but Trump’s military ban prevented them from getting their commission.

This is how it's done. A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. This is how to guard the rule of law.

What an extraordinary way to start an opinion. (Spoiler: Judge Amy Berman Jackson holds that she must take action now to prevent the unlawful dissolution of the CFPB.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
MEMORANDUM OPINION
“CFPB RIP”
Elon Musk – February 7, 2025
“The CFPB has been a woke and weaponized agency against disfavored industries and
individuals for a long time. This must end.”
Russell Vought – February 8, 2025
“That was a very important thing to get rid of.”
President Donald Trump – February 10, 2025
The motion for preliminary injunction to be decided boils down to one question: should
the Court take action to preserve the the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau now, before the
case concerning its fate has been resolved? That is an extraordinary step, and before it can step in,
the Court must conclude that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claims, that they would
suffer irreparable harm in the meantime if the Court lets the lawsuit run its course, and that an
injunction would be in the public interest.

President Musk’s approach to reducing waste and fraud is like that of a doctor who removes the whole limb instead of finding and excising just the tumor. It seems a lot more wasteful to me.

I feel like Democratic leadership has shown a persistent lack of foresight/imagination regarding the lengths to which the GOP will go to impose minority rule. I am not confident they recognize fully the peril we face with Trump and MAGA. They act like the next election will be business as usual.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

On Monday, USAID's IG warned that Trump's agency cuts have made it harder to root out fraud and abuse — and that nearly $500M in food was about to spoil due to Trump's foreign aid freeze. On Tuesday, Trump fired him. So much for transparency.
