Federal judge blocks Trump administration from banning transgender people from military service

ICYMI: A federal judge blocked enforcement of President Trump’s executive order banning transgender people from serving in the U.S. military.

“We should all agree, however, that every person who has answered the call to serve deserves our gratitude and respect.”

First, it was bathrooms, then sports, and now they’re getting to what they really wanted — the complete erasure of the trans community.

Also, if you think this is going to stop at trans people, you are deeply mistaken.

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

Kristi Noem Says $200 Million DHS Ad Campaign Thanking Trump Was His Idea Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said he instructed her to make ads that “thank me for closing the border.”

This is not what my tax dollars should be going to...this looks like fraud, waste and abuse the DOGE ("doggy") team should be eliminating, along with the expenses for going to the Super Bowl and taking a lap at the Dakota 500 😡

My High School Teacher Showed Me a Pornographic Film to Indoctrinate Me I am in my 40's now and just realizing what happened in my high school history class that day and how it still affects me today.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

You know what you call a government that rounds up its political enemies?
You call it a dictatorship.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Experts Call NIH Budget Cuts an 'Apocalypse' for Science The reductions target indirect costs that cover administrative and equipment costs.

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all.

Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week.

Don’t let him.

The Soviet-style purge is intensifying

J.D. Vance Will Be a More Extremist Christian VP Than Mike Pence J.D. Vance has deep ties to far-right Christian nationalists who want to impose a populist radicalism to the United States.

What the !!!!! Fired on what grounds?! Not containing to dRumpf and his cronies?! 🙄

To review, the FAA administrator was forced out because of a business vendetta of Elon Musk’s, Trump froze the hiring of new ATCs despite staff shortages, Musk launched an underhanded attempt to hollow out the whole federal workforce, and then the first US airliner crashed in 16 years.

I'm convinced that there are few things he likes more than sitting at his big-boy desk and signing fancy papers in fancy folders, then holding them up to the cameras with his Very Serious Face on. He's playing president, like an absolute child.

Yeah!

Two hands in rainbow colors with the words "Be an Ally"

Straight folks. Cis folks. This is the time. This is the time we need allies to stand up. Parades and festivals are wonderful, rainbows are awesome, but your voices and actions are more important. They're not hiding, this is a full frontal assault on queer people, especially trans kids.

HIRONO: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election, yes or no?

PATEL: President Biden's election was certified

HIRONO: The people who are 100 percent loyal to Trump can't answer that question. It's alarming that you want to be an FBI director but can't answer.

But they said the price of eggs would go down!? 😢

I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe it is important to listen to love. Really listen. Not only to all the loving voices around us, but our own. I could not be prouder and more excited to join this illustrious university.

Staffing was ‘not normal’ at airport tower, according to a preliminary F.A.A. report. Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times. The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport’s vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash.
