This is just some petty and cruel shit. I was very proud to serve alongside Rachel Levine. She has more leadership, integrity, and expertise in her little finger than the entire RFK HHS crew does all together. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced late Monday that Golden’s storied, half-century-old National Renewable Energy Laboratory, or NREL, is no longer to be referred to as such. The new name: National Laboratory of the Rockies, with a complete “energy” outage.
Trump administration changes name of Golden-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory
The words “renewable” and “energy” are dropped from the name of the applied-research lab that's been in Colorado for more than 50 years.

This must be the modesty my MAGAgelical friends are always on about...
The original White House--like the Capitol--was deliberately NOT garish.They were supposed to reflect republican governance: not monarchies, not aristocracies.They were supposed to show a commitment to We the People.
The current decorations are the precise opposite.

The worst racist uncle you would never invite to your table or leave alone with your kids. A bilious, empty wretch who goes to bed alone every night with limp, room-temp fast food.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Immigrant-led businesses also employ nearly eight million Americans.

Whatever substantive issues need the time & attention of leaders—healthcare, climate, housing, abortion rights, you name it—will have to battle it out for space on the agenda with Qs like: should we prosecute ICE agents? How should we reform SCOTUS? Can a non-politicized civil service be re-created?

Unless reversed on appeal, it is likely to place a severe restriction on ICE’s operations in Colorado.

I’m a law prof & a YLS grad and anyone familiar w elite law schools knows it is beyond laughable to describe these places as radicalism hotbeds. Cruz knows this, as does JD Vance. But they assume that their marks are too unsophisticated to know it too. It’s condescending as hell.

This is a pretty exhaustive takedown by Judge Ellis, going through DHS claims versus body cameras.
Also, fuck ICE.
Also, fuck ICE.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.
