Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoulβ€” all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man.
Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always beenβ€” arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before
money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soulβ€” it shts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

This is disgusting. You can’t work in the AI space w/o an ethical culture of leadership, trust, respect, & accountability. The new CEO of C3AI, Stephen Ehikian, bragging about what an honor it was to serve in the Trump admin GSA. Read about it here:

McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."

One of my friends told her technician that she had breast implants and they flattened them anyway, and burst one of the implants. For those of us with small breasts, there’s not a lot of extra skin to stretch. Yep, there’s gotta be a better way.

Why a court order barring ICE from targeting people based on their race isn't being enforced The order issued by a federal judge in Los Angeles is on appeal by the Trump administration, making its viability murky.

Federal agents are violating a court order that prohibits them from racially profiling Latinos and other Southern California residents as the directive winds it way through an appeals process, immigrant advocates and local officials say.

Making a decision to move the US space Command without doing an assessment of the cost, risks to national security, impacts to workers and their families is impulsive, dangerous, and irresponsible.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw

Cutting specialized suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth β€” during Pride Month, no less β€” is disgusting.

To our LGBTQ youth: California has your back. We’ll keep investing in resources to help you lead safe and healthy lives.

Today, a court struck down the President's tariffs that raised the cost for Americans on everyday goods. Colorado helped lead a lawsuit against this tariff tax. I have been outspoken about the negative impacts these tariffs have on the American people and applaud the court for their decision today.
