Gunpoint.

Musk is telling duly appointed and security cleared government officials that they will be shot if they don't turn over to Musk sensitive information to which he has no right.

In any other country, we'd call it a coup.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

This is absolute nonsense.
First, individuals can be male or female without producing gametes. Otherwise, what, do I stop being female once I hit menopause? Are women who do not ovulate for whatever reason not technically female? Are men with Klinefelter syndrome not technically male? Nonsense.

Kicking off with a regressive policy against people just living their lives.

Not trying to help deal with the housing crisis.
Not aid to the ongoing wildfires in California.
Not touching the cost of groceries.
Not addressing wages or the cost of living.

Nope. Just straight cruelty.
🚨 Trump will instruct the federal government tomorrow via an executive order to not recognize that transgender people exist and exclusively recognize people as their sex assigned at birth.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s Day One Executive Order on ‘Male and Female’
The White House strikes out at gender ideology and pronouns. Also: ends housing of biological men in women’s prisons; self-ID on passports; and more.

If you traveled to DC to witness Trump's insuguration in person, the incoming president is now explicitly letting it known that only the rich and powerful can experience it.

Democrats need to have an aggressive and coordinated media strategy involving all of their members, surfacing derogatory information about Republicans, enumerating the problems they’ve failed to address, and filling the news hole with fresh complaints.
Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat
Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

We got very lucky and had a break in the clouds for totality just outside of Austin today. My friend had a Hestia telescope/filter by Vaonis and got some stunning photos of the eclipse.
