According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Donald Trump's weaponization of the Guard and deployments to American cities erodes that trust, and makes us less prepared when they are most needed.

The Trump Administration Plans to Retaliate for a Government Shutdown by Firing Federal Employees—But Can It?
A government shutdown would limit, not expand, the authorities the administration has—including its ability to fire federal employees—which is why it must move forward with firing plans now.
