NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

This is an important read by a researcher who has investigated the many deceptive and harmful practices of unregulated pregnancy centers in the US. It's astounding what these fake clinics are allowed to get away with.
Supreme Court case about ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ highlights debate over truthful advertising standards
There are some 2,500 of these centers across the United States. Many are located within a mile of an abortion provider.

Sadly so very true.
The tragedy of my life is to look at the ugliness that lives right here. We have been monsters in the past, but I naively believed we were moving beyond those parochial prejudices.
The
STUPIDITY

COWARDICE
and GREED
are worse than I ever imagined.

This country knowingly put evil in the White House. This great, good, decent country knowingly put someone who is evil in power. Americans knowingly voted for an evil monster. And so to remind you once more - this Trump era has never been about Trump. It’s always been about us, about us as a people.

(1,2) Since losing my daughter Jaime in Parkland, I've focused my life on saving other families from this pain. Unfortunately, we were again reminded this weekend of this. Today, I'm endorsing @davidjolly.bsky.social for Florida Governor because he has the courage to do what's right.
Honored to receive the endorsement of @fredguttenberg.bsky.social, a father who turned unimaginable tragedy into a mission to protect other families. Fred knows what's at stake for Florida's children.
