Ah yes, this is what I presumed was taking place, I just needed you to say it. Race is absolutely real, in that it is a social construct. Race is not, as you say, a biological concept. There are no sets of genetic traits that mark someone a

They absolutely deny race exists, you just seem to want to equate genetic heritability with race. Which genetic markers constitute a black person? Which constitute a white person? You clearly think such is the case, so I’m curious to unders

Various studies, thinking, arguments etc. That race isn't biological isn't really up for debate, scientifically. You can believe that scientific consensus is too "woke" or has a systemic bias against the idea or whatever

Right, because "care about" doesn't mean "agree with".

It's not a White America thing to reject race as a biological concept, it's consistent with scientific study.

And you suppose the Trump administration can be trusted to supply those facts? Because that's the source you're citing, if I understand Kyle Cheney's tweet correctly (I may not!).

You say bad faith, but then you equivocate all "change" like any difference is good, or that Congress ought not be involved in the decisions related to how to spend government money, which is wildly unconstitutional.

No they cannot, not legally, and certainly not in a timely manner. There are simply no mechanisms in place to do what you're saying, nor does there appear to be any willingness to correct errors, given the desire to cut spending. Mis

Concern over even a low possibility of a catastrophic event is hardly alarmist. And what if your assumption about printing checks is wrong? I find no basis for that assumption, by the way.
