#Bathrooms with a #view: #Cutting #windows into #student #restrooms is a new level of #weird
After a #lowturnout #schoolboard #election in which several far-right members joined their ranks, they hired a #Christian #lawfirm, decided to begin #banning #books and reopened the #bathroom #issue.
The board approved spending $8,700 to cut windows so passersby can look into the so-called “#genderidentity” #student #bathrooms.
What Trump has promised to do on ‘day one’ as president
Trump has made 41 distinct promises for his first day in office,
including #mass #deportations and #banning #transgender #women from sports.
Donald Trump has a long list of #executive #actions he says he wants to carry out on his potential first day back in the White House.
Among them: Begin mass deportations,
eliminate perks for electric vehicles and
ban transgender women from women’s sports.
Since launching his bid for a second term, Trump has made 41 distinct promises about what he says he wants to do “on day one” as president,
and he has mentioned those promises more than 200 times on the campaign trail, according to a Washington Post analysis of his speeches.
While presidential candidates often trumpet their plans for their first day in the White House,
Trump has leaned especially hard on this rhetorical device when he’s behind the teleprompters.
His proposals often envision stretching the powers of the Oval Office beyond how previous presidents
— including Trump himself
— have invoked them.
