This is one of the most petty Executive Orders I’ve seen. It amounts to “this firm said bad things about me, so imma call them Woke and threaten anyone who does business with them.” It’s just dripping with orange grievance juice.

This is really unfair. If the U.S. government has indeed paid for gender-affirming care for all of these people, it needs to compensate the rest of us by an equal amount. We should demand it (and make them admit that they haven’t really been paying for it.)

Firing a four-star general who is black, and replacing him with a white three-star general because you want a “Warrior Mindset.” Sounds like another way of saying “no one is more qualified to wreak blatant violent aggression like white men.”

This is what I’ve been mentioning too — that they don’t want DEI out of government… they want to make it illegal anywhere. They started a year ago rattling corporate cages, threatening shareholder campaigns to “get rid of the wasteful spending.”

Yes, things are critical at the moment. But the fate of the world is not resting solely upon your shoulders. Breathe. Breathe again. There is no surefire formula to undo all of the crap, but we don’t need you to be perfect. We just need you. To resist, and to persist. Breathe.

Trump quote box:

“I further order all agencies to enforce our longstanding civil-rights laws and to combat illegal private-sector DEl preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities.

As a part of this plan, each agency shall identify up to nine potential civil compliance investigations of publicly traded corporations, large nonprofit corporations or associations, foundations with assets of 500 million dollars or more, State and local bar and medical associations, and institutions of higher education with endowments over 1 billion dollars.”

Quote from article:

“On Tuesday, she made two Instagram posts about Musk's gesture during a speech at a President Donald Trump inauguration event on Monday.

The Anti-Defamation League, an antisemitism and human rights watchdog, called it an "awkward gesture" and urged caution in jumping to conclusions. Other extremism monitors and experts pointed out it was unclear what Musk was trying to convey to the crowd of Trump's supporters by thrusting his arm out.”

MacKenzie Scott (Bezos) does not get enough attention for the impact she's having on the state of the world.
Her primary causes are Equity™, sewing racial division and supporting illegal immigration.

Her method is "trust-based philanthropy" - giving $16 billion in no strings...

House Appropriations used to be important back in the day. Congress abdicated all of that with continuing resolutions and rollover funding. It’s been this way ever since congressional campaigns stretched to two years, so there is no downtime to get things done.
