It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system.

Read @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social's whole dispatch from the whole march:
The organizers call for reversing those measures—ending “censorship and political interference in science,” securing and expanding scientific funding, and defending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in science.

I remain stunned that we don’t have a half dozen Democratic senators competing to see who can be the biggest thorn in Trump’s side.
I definitely think any ambitious Democrat with an eye on 2028 should be making themselves visible right now. Unless they think the road to the White House is through Charlie Kirk.

This has to be figured out if we have any chance of turning this around.
“Many voters headed to the polls convinced that border crossings are higher than ever before (they are not), violent crime rates are rising (untrue) and inflation is soaring (ditto). We will never know how much this garbage may have swayed voters…”
