Of course, but you missed the point. The fascists aren't blocking abortion because they care about babies. They are blocking abortion because they want to control women, and restrict women's access to social and political influence.

The real agenda is to bring down higher education in general. The whole Trans athletes thing is a smokescreen. The fascists consider higher education to be a stronghold of woke liberalism. If if weren't trans athletes, it would be some other excuse to make the cuts.

Could it be the hackers of DOGE who ransacked the Department of Education?

US Marshals, FBI, and DC police are rogue and cannot be expected to enforce the law. They facilitated an illegal trespass, entry and ransacking of an independent, non-profit not under the jurisdiction of the executive branch.

And all the courage is gone. I liked him much better as a fighter.

Keeping negative news about Tesla in the headlines. DOJ doesn't realize they are helping crash Tesla stock.

The Dow is currently down 6.39% over the last month. The last three peaks have all been much lower than the previous peaks.

Just about everything he says is completely irrational and unhinged. The media needs to stop amplifying it.

So DOGE can break into ANY INSTITUTION it wants, with enforcement by the US Marshalls? That's insane. This isn't a federal agency at all, it's an independent group!

Importers in the US are not simply going to take the hit from their profits when they pay the tariffs to the US Gov. They will correspondingly increase their prices to mitigate the loss. Thus money is not "pouring into" the country. It's "pouring out-of" the pockets of American consumers.

The Judge clearly had the law on his side. The Alien Enemies act requires a formal declaration of war. A formal declaration of war requires congressional approval. Trump can't just say, "we're at war with Tren de Aguela" and call it good.
