The New York Times · Dr. Oz ‘Disavows’ Support for Transgender Care, Allaying a Senator’s Concerns
There's a very famous quote from a French movie that says: "Les cons ça ose tout. C'est même à ça qu'on les reconnaît."
In English: "Morons, they do anything they feel like doing. Actually that's how you spot them."
Republicans certainly fit the definition.

@Wileymiller Important for everyone to understand that #trump and the #republican party do not want to be constrained by anything written on a piece of paper.
The constitution’s rules regarding term limits only apply if *WE* enforce them. Us. The American people.

…One of #Trump's first acts…was to create #DOGE, [supposedly] to root out waste, fraud & abuse, slash govt spending & purge the federal workforce of low-performing, *disloyal* & unnecessary workers.
…In practice,…DOGE has mostly pursued long-time #Republican #policy objectives, shuttering agencies such as #USAID & the #CFPB, which provide a lifeline to the world's needy & protect Americans from unscrupulous lenders respectively.

@knittingknots2 The #republican party could just help impeach him if they don’t like his policies.
I know they likely won’t, but there’s an easy solution available every single day if Congress doesn’t like what #trump is doing.

Ummm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants
A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.
By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025
Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'
"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.
"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.
"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'
"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

#Wisconsin: What to know about April's #VoterID ballot referendum
By: Emilee Fannon, Mar 27, 2025
MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- "Voters will not only have to present a #PhotoID to vote on April 1, but they'll also be asked about adding that requirement to the state constitution.
"It's part of a constitutional amendment that will appear on ballots across the state.
"The ballot referendum asks voters, 'shall section 1m of article III of the constitution be created to require that voters present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote in any election, subject to exceptions which may be established by law?'
"A 'yes' vote would enshrine Wisconsin's voter requirement in the state constitution, a move that would make it harder for a court to strike down the law or for lawmakers to repeal.
"Voting 'no' would not add the state's voter ID law to the constitution.
"If the ballot measure is approved or rejected, little would change for Wisconsin voters because the existing photo ID law has been on the books for nearly a decade, said Bryna Godar at the State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
"However, #Republican lawmakers who authored the amendment say it's designed to protect the law from legal challenges in wake of the state Supreme Court gaining a 4-3 #LiberalMajority in 2023."

Look, who hasn’t taken their wife into a highly classified, national security meeting, we’ve all done it. I mean she’s a journalist, what could go wrong.. it makes sense to have a journalist in the meeting rather than including them in a WhatsApp group and message then after, it just saves time. #EU #Greenland #conservatives #trump #DonaldTrump #Musk #elonmusk #tesla #teslatakedown #TrumpIsARussianAsset #gop #vance #republicans #republican #uspol #uspolitics #politics #bbc
