Ossoff: "They've unleashed federal agents to kill Americans on the streets of our cities with impunity. That's Mike Collins's immigration policy. And that's what you'd expect from the bigot congressman who called for executed immigrants by throwing to their deaths out of helicopters."

As a former Harvard in-house lawyer turned UCLA’s [fired] DEI Director, I’ve become the nation’s foremost Project 2025 expert—savant, even. P2025 is 55% complete. Few weeks ago, someone asked me to task my AuDHD🧠 with outlining the 5 most major aspect of the remaining the 545% of P2025’s horrors.

September 13, 2026 at 12:28 PM (iPhone note)

1. Abortion Ban (Comstock Act).
- SCOTUS will outlaw shipment of mifepristone and abortion equipment.
States will sue to protect reproductive healthcare access and lose.
- SCOTUS will build on Dobbs, and hold (6-3) that federal law preempts state protections, establishing a de facto national ban on abortion meds.

2. Department of Education fully eliminated
- Rendering Title I/IDEA funds discretionary for states.
- Title IX (gender and LGBTQ+ discrimination; sexual assault) adjudication all eliminated.
- SCOTUS will permit states reallocate fed funds to private school vouchers.

3. Schedule F Civil Service Overhaul
- They'll convert tens of thousands of career civil servants into fireable political appointees, then fire them. Unions will sue over statutory civil service protections and due process, and lose.
- SCOTUS will promote "Unitary Executive Theory," holding the President has absolute firing power. Civil Service will be dismantled.

4. Obergefelll and "DEI"
- The federal government will eliminate all LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections and enforce the "traditional family" model.
- Challenges to state marriage bans will prompt extremist rulings re: the 14th Amendment. SCOTUS will ultimately overturn Obergefell, returning marriage "definitions" to the states.

5. Medicare Privatization & Medicaid Elimination
- They'll force Medicare Advantage beneficiaries into default. They'll block
Medicaid funds to providers who offer any reproductive care.
- States will challenge restrictions on patient provider choice and lose.
SCOTUS will uphold broad federal authority to restrict funds and accelerate of the privatization/cancellation of the "welfare state."

An unmistakable attempt to intimidate all opposition to the Trump / Hegseth regime. Aside from the absolute moral abomination that this would be, it is unquestionably climbing another rung up the ladder towards true fascism, totalitarianism and a military-supported hereditary dictatorship.

How can Latino, Cuban-American Marco Rubio be so into this fascist racial purity stuff, even to the point of lecturing Europeans that their main security threat isn’t Russia, it’s the population becoming less white? Apparently because he’s not a son of Cubans, he’s a great grandson of Spaniards.

This is what I said before about RFK Jr. wanting to use our tax money for the unethical study in Guinea-Bissau, in which they will experiment on infants from one of the poorest countries in the world by withholding the HepB birth dose. My opinion hasn’t changed. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The US canceled much of its global aid and research earlier this year, Jacobs said.
"In the face of the US canceling all this funding for vulnerable countries, and then it's still going to pay for this research to be done - that is really worrying" she said. "It seems to say we don't value your lives enough to continue to provide support overall, but we won't hesitate to experiment with your population."
