Rescinds the EO to stop a court case. The freeze is still happening, just without making it super public.

https://thehill.com/homenews/5113527-omb-federal-funding-freeze-rescind/

A Trump administration official explained that Wednesday’s move was taken to end the confusion over Monday’s directive and end the federal injunction against it. The official said it would not halt the intended freezing of funding that conflicts with Trump’s executive orders.

And that’s also only on domestic funding, foreign assistance is still frozen.

It really is terrible. I’ve tried a dozen times to get it to do anything that the free version of GPT can do…fails every time on the few things it even tries.

They’ve learned from the GOP that you can be very financially successful saying you’re the only group that can do anything to help…with just a little bit more money.

Then every time you try and do something, it fails because you didn’t have enough money, and blame everyone else.

Oh, for sure. No one wanted to care much about how it might be used against them prior to November.

Tuta is fine, but very basic.

The stuff with Proton… It depends on what you need. Just an alternative to degoogle your life, it’ll work for now, but they may slide into a more pro Broligarchy stance in years to come. For some people, they’re still a little too invasive for what they want.

Email is inherently insecure, so its best to lock down a few and just fluidly transition around as you need.

Because it’s the Executive Branch and the President is the Chief Executive. Every agency in the US Federal government, other than a couple under Congress, are directly under the President.

…who else would it be?

Budgets and the laws that govern what those agencies can do, that’s Congress.

Validating who is right in an argument about what the laws mean, that’s the Judicial Branch.

tl;dr Facial recognition, phone tracking data, DNA, and all the other tools CBP has had on hand for 5 years.

Basically all the things I tried to warn people about between Nov and January.

Are you me? It was the first NES game I opened, before I even had the NES.

Still haven’t beaten it. I don’t think I ever even made it through every level.

Same here. I took a weekend to finally finally beat it on emulator, doing save state after every hit.

Even filled to the top on magic and life going into the last boss, it’s insanely difficult.

I had Zelda 2 and my friend had Zelda 1. I loved Zelda 2, but never beat it as a kid. The music is part of my DNA.

It took emulators and save state as an adult to even get close. It’s like they designed it too be impossible.

But TMNT 1…F that.
