Trump’s bad ideas to revive coal

We should be going forwatd with clean energy, not backsliding.

Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

Posts on how judges rule against Trump and the administration’s defiance

Judges are ruling against Trump’s illegal immigration policies. However, the administration is defying them with no consequences. We can’t count on the Trump court. They help Trump.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.www.reuters.com/legal/govern…

How ICE defies judges’ orders to release detainees, step by step

I can’t get over how increasingly desperate and worried district judges are — they are doing all the right things — and how they’re being betrayed by appellate judges and a Supreme Court, both too cowardly to stand behind their decisions.

Terrible SSA policy – sharing appointment information with ICE

Hopefully, a court will strike this down. The Trump administration has been a disaster for SSA.

Social Security Admin staff are being verbally instructed to share information about in-person appointments with ICE, contradicting SSA's written policy and decades of precedent. Worse, recent policy changes are forcing millions more noncitizens to visit SSA offices.www.wired.com/story/social…

— Kathleen Romig (@kathleenromig.bsky.social) 2026-02-13T21:44:44.588Z

I think that the Trump administration would treat getting the public to distrust SSA as a positive development. I bet that they want to privatize SSA so their billionaire pals can profit from it. I assume privatization would also put fewer constraints on illegal use of SSA data.

Trump’s terrible election threats

I assume all of this is illegal but I also assume that won’t stop him from attempting to interfere in the election. He’ll send his goons to polling places.

Repeat after me:An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.Also:Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

The political science research on VID laws is clear1.) It doesn't stop fraud, because fraud is non-existent. 2.) It does decrease turnout by 1-2%, but not in a way that advantages Rs. 3.) Much of research on VID was done before Trump, who wins low propensity voters.

This is the key point – it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

RFK Jr. can't change state vaccine regulations. But, he can dismantle the vaccine supply chain. FDA's failure to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine demonstrates how HHS can weaponize the vaccine approval process to discourage the production of new, innovative, and potentially life-saving vaccines.

Examples of Trump cult antisemitism

I have no doubt that Trump, many of his officials and many of his followers are anti-semitic. MGA is full of bigots.

You can’t fight antisemitism while validating Holocaust deniers, gutting civil‑rights enforcement, and excusing open hatred inside your own movement. My new piece traces how the Trump administration is mainstreaming hate — not by accident, but by design.
