Also, by the way, I don’t recall you complaining about R states and corporations forum shopping to challenge Biden admin actions in courts they knew to be friendly.

Oh yeah, one other thing: The courts are stopping you and Trump because your actions are illegal and unconstitutional. Most of these aren’t close calls. Example: you do not have constitutional authority to feed congressionally created agencies to the wood chipper.

What happens if they reply with misleading and untrue statements, like those DOGE has posted about its purported but grossly inflated “savings”?

Congressional budget resolution is literally a vote to take money from the poor and vulnerable and give it to the rich and corporations. With special favors for Big Oil and Pentagon contractors.

Of all the cruel and cockamamie things Musk and Trump have said, this, from Musk, may be the most revealing: "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." In fact, it is fair to say, empathy is the single bedrock feature of a decent society.

Trump is actually engaging in widespread censorship, stripping science information that contains words like “gender” and “diverse,” no matter the context.

Trump has put chemical industry reps in charge of chemical regulation at the EPA. Not exactly the pathway to end chemical exposures for kids, or anyone else.

Trump & Musk are taking money from children and stuffing it in billionaires' pockets. That's what it means to slash the Dept of Ed while pushing for massive tax cuts for the super rich and corporations. "Shameful bullying" does not adequately describe the heinousness here.

Remember when Trump was going to Make America Healthy Again and take on the toxics poisoning us? Apparently Trump doesn’t. nytimes.com/2025/03/17/cli…
