To provide an actual response: opinion is not voter salience
I support Trans rights as much as anyone but it's an electoral loser. It helps Republicans who are ok with shooting trans.

My mother once grabbed the wrong container and put two cups of egg nog into the mashed potatoes.
My aunt who famously can’t cook tried to make a pumpkin pie. She didn’t know what cloves were, so she put garlic cloves in it. Whole.

And if this is how emboldened senators from Arizona are feeling rn, uh... hope you like losing 7 senate seats.

I think people should realize here that Mark Kelly is a very savvy politician who doesn't really move from where his constituents are and is notoriously careful because he's a democrat from Arizona.
The fact that he's doing this isn't just presidential ambition, it means his voters want it.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

I'm not a huge rah-rah support the troops sort, but they're going to try to stolen valor Kelly over the next couple of weeks and it's going to absolutely run into a brick wall.

Also there's burblings that Bondi may be in trouble in DOJ, but I don't know if they're credible enough to really highlight. But its certainly percolating in the RW ether right now.

I actually don't have a huge opinion if this is a good or a bad thing, probably an "it depends". I actually have a pretty dim view of some of the Obama era agencies that Trump disbanded, and think their use and utility was far overstated by people on this here website.

i.e. DOGE is not toast, a lot of those guys have transistioned into full time civil servant positions (Which as I mentioned, is normal) but it also seems to indicate that they're moving away from any sort of centralization and back into plopping people into the machinery of individual agencies.

Some inside admin baseball here appears (and I use appears because I don't have enough knowledge to know for sure) that Trump has basically firmly rejected some of the Obama-era centralizing self-bill agencies and instead is just turning it back into fiefdoms.
News coverage of DOGE’s creation earlier this year was practically wall-to-wall — for weeks. “$2 trillion in savings, $5000 dividend checks, an entirely new model of government.” And now that it’s gone, it’s like eh.

The single biggest problem of the Trump administration is that an authoritarian government REQUIRES MORE PEOPLE, NOT LESS.
You can't fire 12% of workforce and then go "Huh, lets use the state to crush all dissent! Brilliant!"

While at the same time attempting to ramp up said legal warfare. It's the fundamental "there are four people running the government and they're all insane rabid racoons fighting in an overcoat" problem where you can't blow up state capacity and then try and use the state to go after people!

Something that I would note is that the Trump administration is doing something really self sabotaging right now, in that it's removed the professionalism and actual bodies necessary to pursue large scale legal warfare against their foes (Lindsey Halligan and Aline Habba? Really?)

One thing that's becoming exceedingly clear is that the administration forgot the whole "consolidate the courts so your sham prosecutions work" part of the 10 point "how to do an authoritarianism" plan
