Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Here's a Bluesky thread that indicates this situation is still insanely convoluted. It has a very unfortunate first sentence. It should read something like "WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just made things more confusing..." and I edited out the sarcasm/humor in the first post. It's overkill.
I don't think anybody understands what's going on. It seems to me she's saying that the new memo is magic. It's just a couple sentences but it's a poweful incantation. Abrahacabra! Everything put forth by the original toxic memo can go ahead as planned. And the federal court case goes away. But not only is she not a wizard - she has no political power at all. She's just somebody at a podium who says shit.

What the fuck
Exactly.
I can't even imagine what next Monday will bring about the freeze. More memos? Or maybe a new superseding but not superseding EO that might kinda sorta is modifying or nullifying the first EO?
At least the democrats response is easily predictable. They'll put forth tons of hot air yet do nothing at all.
What the fuck?
Wait someone already said this
