It is somehow grievously injurious to the U.S. federal government that I am a woman, and that I should be able to move freely about the country and the world.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

a lot of rank and file dems do not seem to understand that trans people are in an existential battle for our right to be part of society right now. the government today is trying to use employment law and federal extortion to ban us from bathrooms.

Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public.
It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵

A group of men violently assaulted a transgender veteran in Seattle walking home from work. They cited Trump's trans military ban as they beat her.
One of the perpetrators was already wanted for domestic violence and was previously charged with a hate crime.

Whether motivated by fear, hate, or greed, the Trump administration is moving the country towards mistrusting and despising their neighbors based on a few differences rather than their many similarities.

I worked with Amy Gleason at USDS. I saw her put herself in harm's way for the American people during Covid, and respect that... but this???
This is her trying to protect a would-be autocrat from facing accountability. These are half-truths that people we both know can disprove. Bad move.

Let's talk for a minute about efficiency vs. efficacy friends.
Efficiency is focused on making a process use fewer resources, while efficacy is about that process's ability to achieve its intended outcomes.
In fairness, DOGE is arguably doing things to make gov more efficient.
