Trump says no more men in women's sports - what a bastard, eh?
He's done some outrageous stuff, but this takes the cake.

I watched a bit of CNN today - listened to the talking head trying to grill some republican about Trump's dictate that federal employees who didn't want to return to work (from remote work at home) resign - albeit with a nice severance package.
The host said she'd heard from "tons" of federal employees whose continued presence at home was imperative due to child-rearing responsibilities; these employees were coincidentally the spouses of members of our armed services who were engaged overseas or locations other than home, which in turn dictated the remaining federal-employee-parent stay in the home.
The idiot she was berating with this story wasn't smart enough to ask her in turn how it was that (given that work-at-home was born of the covid mess) all these children were apparently and necessarily conceived/born in the four-or-so years since covid started.
The very idea that "tons" of families could be thus afflicted is utterly ridiculous, and frankly, anyone stupid enough to create children in such circumstances and not realize they'd ever have to return to "work" without thinking of the need to arrange child-care doesn't deserve to be employed in any capacity.
