BREAKING: Hollywood superstar Hunter Schafer of "Euphoria" and "Hunger Games" fame unleashes a fiery takedown of Donald Trump for changing her passport gender from female to male: "F*ck this administration."
MAGA just picked a fight with one of Gen Z's biggest celebrities...
"So I'm sure most of us remember on — I think the first day of Trump's presidency — he signed an executive order to declare only two genders recognized by the state, male and female, assigned at birth," Schafer, who is trans, said in an eight minute video shared to social media.
"As a result of this — which I wrote down because I want to get it right — the Bureau of Consular Affairs has frozen passport applications requesting a gender marker change or renewals or new applications with a gender marker differing from an applicant's gender assigned at birth," she continued.
"So my initial reaction to this because our president, you know, is a lot of talk was 'I'll believe it when I see it' and today I saw it," she said, holding up her passport which now states that she is male.
She revealed that she lost her previous passport last year while filming in Barcelona when someone broke into her car. She visited the Los Angeles Passport Agency this week to get a replacement, followed the proper procedure, and was stunned to discover that her gender marker had been changed.
Schafer first had her gender marker changed to female when she was a teenager when she got her first driver's license. All of her identification documents since then until now have been female.
"Now, I'm not making this post to fearmonger or to create like drama or receive consolation, I don't need it. But I do think it's worth posting to sort of note the reality of the situation and that it is actually happening and I was shocked," said Schafer. "Because I don't know, I just didn't think it was actually going to happen."
She acknowledged her "privilege" as a celebrity who is white, thin, and adheres to contemporary beauty standards who can "pass" in public — but this still happened to her.
"This has led me to believe that, I think, the agencies who are in charge of passports and this sort of thing are now required to cross reference birth certificates," she said.
"Or I don’t know exactly what changed, as far as the processing goes, but this is the first time this has happened to me since I changed my gender marker," she explained. "We’re coming up on a decade now or something, and I do believe it is a direct result of the administration our country is currently operating under."
"And I guess I'm just sort of scared of the way this stuff slowly gets implemented, you know, because things just sort of start happening I think as we've seen in historical rises of fascism and everything this new administration kind of represents," she continued.
"You know there's a lot of talk and then things start happening and we start to normalize the circumstances we're under and I just feel like it's important to share that it's not just talk, that this is real and it's happening and no one, no matter their circumstance, no matter how wealthy or white or pretty or whatever is excluded," said Schafer.
"This is real."
"I also want to say I don't give a f*ck that they put an 'M' on my passport. It doesn't change really anything about me or my transness," said Schafer.
"However, it does make life a little harder," she continued. "Personally, I think — I mean I haven't tested it out yet I'll find out next week when I have to travel abroad for the first time with my new passport — but I'm pretty sure it's going to come along with having to out myself with like Border Patrol agents and that whole gig much more often than I would like to or is really necessary."
"And this is just my personal circumstance and thinking about other trans women who this might also be happening to, or other trans people, you know the list only gets longer as far as the intricacies that come along with the difficulty that this brings into like real life s**t," she said.
"This is getting very long but I just want to say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing," said Schafer.
"I’m never going to stop being trans. A letter on a passport can’t change that and f*ck this administration. I don’t really have an answer on what to do about this, but I feel it was important to share. This is real! So, um, yeah, f*ck!" she concluded.
Schafer should be celebrated for her courage in the face of this hateful fascist administration. Trump is targeting transgender Americans because he knows that it excites the bigots who populate his base.
These anti-trans efforts are nothing more than weaponized cruelty against some of society's most marginalized people. The time to take a stand is now.

BREAKING: MAGA billionaire Elon Musk exploits his newfound power in horrifying fashion as his DOGE organization fires FDA employees who were reviewing his controversial "Neuralink" company.
This is the company that allegedly killed test monkey with gruesome brain experiments...
According to Reuters, Food and Drug Administration employees who were looking into the company were conveniently terminated in a broader purge of federal employees.
Neuralink is a device implanted in the brain that is supposed to allow people to control other devices through their thought which could theoretically help disabled individuals. The risks in involved in such a procedure are profound.
Roughly twenty people at the FDA's office of neurological and physical medicine devices — some of whom were reviewing Neuralink and its clinical-trial applications — were fired. They were also tasked with reviewing other companies currently developing brain-computer interface devices.
"It’s intimidating to the FDA professionals who are overseeing Neuralink’s trial,” said Victor Krauthamer, a former FDA official who served as acting director of the office that oversees human-trial requests for such brain devices.
"We should be worried about the whole trial, and the protection of the people in the trial," he added.
This is, of course, exactly why DOGE was designed in the first place. Oligarchs like Musk want to completely gut our federal government and strip away all of the regulations that protect the American people from their toxic greed. They want to rule over us like feudal lords, insulated from the consequences of their actions.

BREAKING: Prominent MAGA Republican Matt Schlapp is accused of sexually assaulting a man at a restaurant and bar over the weekend — with at least six witnesses and the alleged victim confirming the incident.
And it gets so much worse...
Schlapp, the Chairman of the American Conservative Union that annually hosts the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct towards men in the past.
Reports indicate that he paid out at least one confidential settlement to an alleged victim in the past for nearly half a million dollars. Somehow, despite the allegations, he remains a fixture of conservative politics.
Schlapp is married to a woman who worked in the first Trump administration and they have five children together.
According to this new accusation — reported on by journalist Yashar Ali — Schlapp assaulted a man in Virginia at a restaurant/bar that is close to a property that Schlapp owns with his wife.
Ali reviewed video footage and photographs that confirmed Schlapp's presence at the venue. He also confirmed that Schlapp's credit card was used to close out a tab.
Schlapp allegedly entered the bar/restaurant and spent nearly an hour hovering far too closely to a group of men, including some gay men, to the point that they became uncomfortable. Eventually a few of them confronted him.
Schlapp also moved past the men in such a way as to intentionally graze up against them physically. He stood extremely close — within two feet or less — despite there being more than ample room to give them space. He also followed them around the venue.
The video footage that Ali reviewed confirmed that Schlapp was standing bizarrely close to the men despite the available space. He repeatedly moved his body so that he could remain directly in their eye sight.
"Every time I looked around—whether we were on the dance floor, at the bar, or back at the table talking to people—every time I turned around, this guy was right there, one foot behind me. And I was just not comfortable with this," said the alleged assault victim.
The man, who is not gay, confronted Schlapp and told him that he was in a relationship with a woman before asking him to leave him alone. While the man was still talking, Schlapp allegedly grabbed and gripped the man's ge****ls while maintaining aggressive eye contact.
The alleged victim reported the attack to the manager and Schlapp was removed from the property. Schlapp then returned to establishment, resulting in a "heated confrontation."
The next CPAC convention is slated for February 19th. A sane organization would remove this predator from its leadership position but given the fact that the Republican Party is now led by an adjudicated ra**st in Donald Trump, it's unclear how — if at all — these heinous new allegations will affect Schlapp.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's week kicks off with disaster as the former head of the government's whistleblower protection office hits him with an ironclad lawsuit for illegally firing him.
Trump messed with the wrong guy this time...
Hampton Dellinger, who was appointed by President Joe Biden to lead the Office of the Special Counsel, states in his lawsuit that he was fired by Trump "in a one-sentence email" in violation of his five-year term appointment.
The OSC allows whistleblowers to report their concerns of government wrongdoing in a safe and secure environment without fear of reprisals.
Given the rampant corruption of Trump's administration and his demonstrated penchant for vindictive reprisals, the OSC represents an obvious threat to his administration.
"The recent spate of terminations of protected civil service employees under the new presidential administration has created controversies, both about the lawfulness of these actions and about potential retaliation against whistleblowers," the lawsuit states. "The OSC is statutorily tasked with receiving such reports, investigating them, and taking appropriate action."
“The President’s unlawful attempt to remove Special Counsel Dellinger from his office directly violates the modest but vital protections that Congress put in place and renders the OSC and the Special Counsel unable to fulfill their statutory mandate," it adds.
"The OSC’s ability to protect the civil service and investigate alleged misconduct is needed now more than ever," the suit states.
The legal battle comes amidst Trump and Elon Musk's ongoing shameless efforts to gut the federal government to further empower the super rich and corporations. They're working to transition us from a democracy into a full-blown oligarchy.
When the Office of Special Counsel was created, the law clearly stipulated that its leader could only be removed if he or she demonstrated "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." Dellinger is guilty of none of these things and has a sterling reputation.
"Over the preceding three weeks, an unprecedented number of federal employees with civil service protections have been terminated without cause," the lawsuit says.
"Senior career officials have been purged from the Federal Bureau of Investigations," it continues. "Eighteen Inspectors General from across the federal government have been removed without the justification required by statute. And hundreds of federal employees have been locked out of their computer systems."
Dellinger's lawsuit requests a temporary order from the judge to bar his termination. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, will make the decision.

🚨BREAKING: AG Pam Bondi: "I think tomorrow, you’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office… A lot of flight logs, a lot of names. A lot of information."
Jesse Waters: "One of the things a lot of people are wondering, because you said last week that you have the Epstein files on your desk, is when can we see them and what's taking so long to release them?"
Bondi: "I do. Jesse, there are well over—this will make you sick—200 victims. 200. So we have well over—over 250 actually. So we have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information. But other than that, I think tomorrow, Jesse—breaking news right now—you’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office."
Jesse Waters: "What kind? Are we going to see who was on the flights? Are we going to see any evidence from what he recorded because he had all of his homes wired with recording devices?"
Bondi: "What you’re going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information. But it’s pretty sick what that man did."

21 DOGE Staffers Quit, Defying Musk's Government Overhaul
The resignation of 21 civil servants from the United States DOGE Service (formerly USDS) on February 25, 2025, marks a significant protest against sweeping changes advocated by billionaire Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. These employees, comprising about one-third of the remaining staff, voiced several concerns in their joint resignation letter.
The departing staff firmly stated their refusal to compromise government systems or endanger sensitive information:
"We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services".
The resigning employees also expressed concerns about DOGE's hiring practices under the current administration, citing questionable interview processes that prioritized political loyalty over technical qualifications.
This mass resignation is part of a broader trend of federal employees opposing the radical transformation of government under President Trump and Musk, including significant layoffs and attempts to reshape entire agencies.

BREAKING: Senator Chris Murphy torches Donald Trump and MAGA oligarch Elon Musk in the bluntest of terms, says that they're "stealing from all of us" in order to "enrich their billionaire Mar-a-Lago cabal."
He hit the nail on the head with this one...
"The Trump administration has been about one thing and one thing only: stealing from all of us, stealing from regular people, stealing from poor people, stealing from the middle class in order to enrich their billionaire Mar-a-Lago cabal," Murphy said.
He went on to rip the Republican Party as a whole for the outrageous budget resolution that they passed earlier this week calling for the House Energy and Commerce Committee to cut $880 billion in spending — reductions that will largely have to be carved out of Medicaid.
"You’re talking about $880 billion of cuts to Medicaid. And I get it, like $880 billion, like, what does that mean, right? That’s a huge number," said Murphy.
"Nobody understands. Let me tell you what that means," he continued. "That means that sick kids die in this country. That means that hospitals in depressed communities, in rural communities, close their doors."
Murphy is spot on as usual. At the end of the day, the so-called "efficiency" and "cost-saving" efforts of DOGE are geared towards gutting spending to pave the way for massive new tax cuts for the super rich.
Trump and Musk want to make average Americans suffer en masse so that their cronies can buy a few more super yachts and private planes.
MAGA is a massive graft operation unprecedented in American history.
