Trump is doing by executive order what he is too weak to do by legislation.
He does not have the votes in Congress.
He wouldn't be able to get ANY of this passed if he tried.
He is the WEAKEST incoming president in 50 years.

Trump pardoned a child predator who was at the J6 riot and released him back on the streets. Thankfully he was arrested by local authorities in Texas.

Department of Commerce employees have received another email about the deferred resignation program, this one promising agencies will "stick to the deal." Included was a new contract template, which is different from the prior one that people have presumably already signed.

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching.
If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.
I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.
If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.

I dreamt I got a hug from my Mommy last night. It was a good dream. She wasn't sick in it. She was herself. Hair tidy, and short, and smiling. I love you. I love you so. ❤️🩹🎄

Gaetz withdrawing his name and the more general chaos around Trump's cabinet picks serve as healthy reminders that people get sick of his shit quickly. He _is_ subject to the same dynamics of politics as everybody and not an omnipotent force. He'll still pull all kinds of shit, but we CAN push back.

Politico calls Trump's "puny plurality" win a "JV Caliber success."
Winning "less than half the vote .. used to be considered pretty weak sauce."
Trump won to be sure, but inaccurately seeing a landslide may lead both parties to miscalculate.
