The American Bar Association issued a statement on recent #Trump admin "attacks on constitutionally protected #BirthrightCitizenship, the dismantling of #USAID & the attempts to criminalize" #diversity initiatives as "wide-scale affronts to the rule of #law itself."

Full #ABA statement:

Now that Philly has won the hunger games it is exempt from defunding by the government!

“I want great education, clean water, clean air, great health care. But I don’t believe a massive bureaucracy is the way to achieve those things,”

It’s all over the wire like here:

But the speaker is advocating cuts to what directly funds the great education and healthcare he wants.

Now, faced with their losing jobs, scientists and professors will look to work overseas instead of in the US. It will gut US competitiveness.

Are Americans paying attention to Musk and Trump's DOGE? Here's what people in Iowa had to say

Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst has hailed Elon Musk and the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency. So has Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. Their constituents are following the cost-cutting effort closely. Unlike their top elected officials, several of the constituents are expressing concerns. Some question the delivery of government services or whether Musk has the necessary authority. Others back Musk, saying his action is needed given the risk of doing nothing to sharply curb federal spending.

America is sabotaging its own scientific research with cutting the NSF budget from $9 billion to only $3 billion, using AI to evaluate grant proposals and shift NSF funding from universities to private companies

As a result, applications for positions as research group leaders from the US at Germany‘s Max Planck have doubled 🚀🔬

Here is a snippet of what the economy is facing:

K-12 cuts
GDP Decline: Approximately $390 billion (1.4% of GDP)
Job Losses: 1.2 million to 1.6 million jobs, affecting educators, support staff, and related industries

Medicaid
GDP Decline: $1.09 trillion (approximately 4% of GDP)
Job Losses: 4 to 6 million, affecting doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, and related industries

NIH
GDP Decline: ~$119 billion (~0.4% of GDP)
Job Losses: 600,000 to 750,000

Deep recession is coming.

If you need to complete the fafsa, do it asap before the portal gets shutdown.

Here’s where we are going:

Musk will lose in court and be told to stop halting treasury payments.

He won’t stop and be held in contempt and ordered to be placed in jail.

The US marshals will be told if they execute the court order to arrest Musk, they are fired. No arrest.

Rule of law ends at that point.

The only recourse is mass protests to shut down the govt completely until the rule of law is restored and Musk is put in jail for treason.

This might only be weeks away.

Elon has now taken the department of education

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.
