Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions.

They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Hey a reminder I have to give WAY TOO FUCKING OFTEN:

If you’re going to reply to me something like, “won’t matter,” “we’re cooked,” “everyone/everything is bad actually…”

Kindly consider fucking off instead.

I am not a sponge for your despair.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.

The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

i’m 8 feet, 4 inches tall. one drawback is that unlike the rest of you, i can’t just travel to other cities or countries by going to the post office and mailing myself. i’m simply too big to mail. also, my height attracts so much attention that i can’t get away with littering, and i love littering

Alright, well, video games.

With 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico on the way, I can see a sharp downtick in the number of disc-based games that get released physically in the US, as much of that production infrastructure is in Mexico.

If they do get made, I expect higher prices both phys & dig.

I strongly advise you to get this into your mind and then to try and drill it into the minds of everyone you know. Do not comply in advance. These hateful authoritarian lunatics are incompetent and stupid. They are relying on you treating them with respect and compliance to achieve anything
TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.
Trump White House's first trans executive order is out. I'll be reading over it here and going through line by line to help you make sense of it.

New from me: Donald Trump is president again. There is nothing inevitable about what happens from here forward. The greatest threat would be to pretend otherwise and that his success at attaining kingship is preordained, as there is no divine right to the presidency.
Opinion | Donald Trump is still not king
The greatest threat of the president’s second term is allowing him to proceed as though there is nothing that can stop him.

This is a long gamer rant, but it's a window into Musk's approach to everything. It's not just he's paying people to level his account; it's how he needs to be known as a gaming god but is so lazy & shameless he doesn't bother learning the game's mechanics to make the ruse work.
