Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

I’ve been a supporter of Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell for standing up to Trump.

But this is the real test. Will he stand up for Lisa Cook?
In Trump v. Wilcox in May the SCOTUS made clear that “for cause” protections apply to members of the Federal Reserve Board. Which means a tweet from Trump’s Fed Housing Finance Chair claiming that Cook committed mortgage fraud constitutes “cause.” And that’s bogus.

This must be fought.
It’s hard to overstate how big a deal this is - for the economy (ours and globally), for the rule of law, and for the proper and efficient function of government.

This is also a VERY useful stat sheet for calls tomorrow reminding your members of Congress how many voters they just voted to fuck over in favor of billionaires.
If you're looking for details for your calls, House Dems produced this tool where you can how many people in your district are at risk of losing jobs, health care, and food on the table from the House GOP budget.
