"homelessness, no elder care, no disability care, and the occupation of all time, energy and resources so that people cannot or will not help each other. Autogenocide is human extinction caused by the destruction of the environment we need to live."

Democrats will continue to lose until they realize that the rules have changed, that facts do not win elections, and that they must make a costly stand for what they believe in. Until then, we are ruled by a mad king and his billionaires, and the Democrats are but useful idiots /end

Democrats must abandon the belief that just standing for the more popular thing will create the right outcome. Public opinion will move wherever the leader directs it (watch what will happen on Russia in the coming days; negative polarization will dominate *any* GOP principles) 4/

In short: for democracy to survive, our representatives must represent us. They cannot just declare that our views are more popular and wait for the world to turn. Democrats are losing because they are coming with spreadsheets and figures, when the opponent brings theater and muscle 3/

Polls tell you what people like and dislike. This is important. But Democrats' obsession with poll-testing everything has led Dem leaders and pundits to completely misunderstand how politics works in a representative democracy. Winning in public opinion polls is not winning in politics. 2/

It’s possible the SC could overturn Marbury v Madison and relinquish the principle of judicial review. Some conservatives are calling on Congress to restructure or abolish the inferior federal courts. Both would technically be constitutional but would be a full regime change.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."
SUBJECT:
Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs
'The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024. of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness" and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again. The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.
This memorandum requires Federal agencies to identify and review all Federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the President's policies and requirements. For example, during the initial days of his Administration, President Donald J Trump issued a series of executive orders to protect the American people and safeguard valuable taxpayer resources, including Protecting the American People Against Invasion (Jan. 20, 2025).
Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid (Jan 20, 2025), Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements (Jan. 20, 2025). Unleashing American Energy (Jan. 20.
2025). Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing (Jan. 20.ent these orders, each agency must complete a comprehensive analysis of all jal assistance programs to identify programs, projects, and activities that any of the President's executive orders.
