the splintered remains of Trump’s alleged former mental acuity serves to obscure the premeditated aspects of his seemingly randomized path of destruction. It’s been orchestrated already, but his bullshit cosplay makes it seem like he hasn’t even conceived of evil yet

1. Since taking office, the Trump administration has waged an unrelenting campaign

published a final rule categorically prohibiting Federal Financial Participation (“FFP”) for
evidence-based treatments for gender dysphoria—including puberty-delaying medications,
hormone therapy, and surgical interventions1

Tennessee governor orders third-party review, pauses all executions for the rest of the year
​Gov. Bill Lee has ordered a third-party review of the botched execution of Christa Pike and put a hold on state executions for the rest of the year.“Carrying out a lawfully imposed sentence is among the State’s most serious responsibilities, and the people of Tennessee expect it to be done in a manner that is not only legal and constitutional, but is effective,” said Lee in a statement.

Voters shouldn’t have to walk past armed ICE agents to cast a ballot. Trump’s DHS says it can put them at polling places despite a 150-year-old law meant to stop this kind of intimidation. Elections aren’t pay-to-play, and they aren’t armed checkpoints. #PayToPlayPresident
