Yelling at suicidal children that they are going to hell if they don't "stop being gay," in other words, is constitutionally valid.

Looking to limit birthright citizenship, Trump turns to an 1884 Supreme Court ruling against a Native American man

I wish I could get this amazing and terrifying article to all Hungarians and Americans. What the Russians and Orbán are doing to free and fair elections through AI is so dangerous to democracies around the world. It will be copied by Trump and all other fascists.

New, from me: The federal government is required to track job satisfaction among its employees. The Trump admin stopped collecting the data, so a nonprofit stepped in. The results show that a collapse in morale and zero trust in Trump agency leaders. đź§µ
