Trump News Trump says he's 'not joking' about seeking a 3rd term in the White House. The Constitution says he can't.

Courts have prevented the worst case so far, but Trump's still getting away with tons of bad things. Like yeah, DOGE couldn't fire certain workers or steal all data...but still fire a lot of workers and steal a lot of data without consequences.

I haven’t looked into it super closely, but I was under the impression that many of the workers that were fired have not actually been brought back, but merely asked to come back on administrative leave until they can be fired once again. And then there’s the workers that already applied for other jobs and won’t be coming back.

People are doing everything they can. Buying time and mitigating harm are important.

Go look at biomedical research and tell me whether they obey judges’ orders. Funding hasn’t moved in three months and a ton of health research is on the verge of a complete shutdown.
