The Trump admin ordered a freeze on federal grants for aid programs, but a judge partially blocked it following lawsuits. In this OpEd, @dyanamason.bsky.social & Mirae Kim discuss the role of federal funding in the functioning of nonprofits. @us.theconversation.com

We, as voters, can term limit electeds via elections. Making it a rule doesn't solve our problem of representation. Stopping gerrymandering would have a bigger impact.

Between 2017-2021 we lost a high proportion of potential #internationalstudents . Others were stuck in the U.S. unable to go home because it was unlikely they would be able to return (and weren't able to see their families for 2-4 years).

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

Angertainment to cover for the real dangers to women who are in the process of getting promoted to offices they in no way should hold. (And also, trans folks, sorry you have to deal with these obsessives who are fixated on things that arent their business 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️).

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself. Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue. So, who is doing identity politics?

I did not use the word "extremist" although outlets like Newsmaxx could probably be put in that category. DT did not earn a vote record (he's five mil behind Biden 2020 and didn't even get as many as he did last time, and doesn't have a majority of 2024 vote. No majority at all, much less a mandate.
