SCOTUS gave Trump immunity from prosecution.
Congress wouldn’t impeach him no matter what he does.
He ignores court orders.
Ignores Congress.
His cabinet does anything he tells them to even if it’s illegal.
DOJ does too.
And the military.

Holy ass he said it out loud. They can't make us feed hungry people. This is insane. Like insane right? This is our tax money earmarked for SNAP and he's like no it's mine now, check out the ballroom.
Q: A federal judge ruled that the administration has to fully fund SNAP. DOJ said they're gonna appeal. What's your message to folks as we're headed to Thanksgiving?

The Supreme Court's decision to let the Trump White House implement its anti-trans passport policy is vile, and I appreciate Jackson going out of her way to include in her dissent, for the record, the administration's language justifying the policy. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![TRUMP v. ORR
JACKSON, J., dissenting
identity. From 1992 to 2010, passport applicants who
wished to obtain passports with sex markers that were dif-
ferent from the sex assigned to them at birth had to submit
evidence of surgical reassignment. In 2010, the State De-
partment began allowing passport applicants to submit a
doctor’s certification avowing that they had undergone clin-
ical treatment for gender transition. Beginning in 2021, the
State Department allowed applicants to self-select the sex
marker that matched their gender identity.
Through it all, the indisputable point of a passport re-
mained: to “attes[t] to the identity and nationality of the
bearer.” 22 CFR §51.1 (2024). The State Department’s sex-
marker policies have thus long demonstrated that what is
important for identification purposes is the bearer’s gender
identity today.
No matter. On January 22, 2025, the agency overhauled
the rules for sex markers on passports, reverting to its pre-
1992 practices. Its Passport Policy now requires that all
new passports reflect the holders’ sex assigned at birth.
Why? Because two days earlier, on January 20, President
Trump issued Executive Order No. 14168, characterizing
transgender identity as “false” and “corrosive” to American
society. 90 Fed. Reg. 8615 (2025). The order asserted that
“the policy of the United States” is “to recognize two sexes,
male and female,” which it defined based on the sex as-
signed “at conception.” Ibid. And the order directed the
Secretary of State to require that any new government-is-
sued identification documents reflect the holder’s “biologi-
cal” sex. Id., at 8615–8616. The State Department re-
sponded by rescinding its prior sex-identification policies
moving forward; transgender Americans who had previ-
ously obtained passports with sex markers reflecting their
gender identity rather than their sex assigned at birth
could continue to use those documents until they expire.
