In theory, there is not a problem with this story. However, I, now, know it is nothing but a smoke screen into autocracy. It is maddening. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/us/politics/trump-powell-fed-renovation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XU8.3Oei.KOIdLS058sht&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare18 Jul 2025 19:43 +0000at://did:plc:aocbf73aqrspb7desxbmdkno/app.bsky.feed.post/3lub7fe2aq22whttps://bsky.app/profile/eminedeniz.bsky.social/post/3ltwcbnpuas2wI am seeing my American liberal friends writing about the Epstein files and trying to tell MAGA voters about the hypocrisy of all.

Also, I find talking about “democrats pushed trans rights” a lot naive, if not harmful, when these people are signaling very loudly who they are and what they would do. Cassandra was right!!
