The nice thing about those Handmaid’s Tale hoods is they discreetly cover up the evidence that the leopards have eaten her face.

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.)

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

Firing a four-star general who is black, and replacing him with a white three-star general because you want a “Warrior Mindset.”

Without passing a single law, Donald Trump has effectively declared DE illegal—government agencies are falling in line.

New — Sources tell me OPM is preparing mass firing of probationary employees after agencies submitted lists of them last week without context. If supervisors want to keep someone on, they need to write a short justification. Directive was high level. They were told not to put any of this in print.
