It's Monday, November 18th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is Waday, the show that will not be taking a four-year-long cruise to avoid Donald Trump's presidency, largely because this show doesn't do cruises. Locked on a ship for four years? I'm not Odysseus. I do not have that kind of time.

On today's show, Vivek Ramasomi says he'll delete agencies as head of the Department of Government Efficiency,

which is not a department.

And President Biden approves the use of long-range missiles for Ukraine's military.

Let's get into it.

In 2016, Donald Trump's presidential win surprised a lot of people,

and the reaction was immediate. The 2017 Women's March took place in big cities and tiny towns

across the country and around the world the day after his inauguration. People stood up to

the Muslim ban in airports and in courtrooms. They joined organizations fighting for immigrants

and for LGBTQ rights. And they ran for office, up and down courtrooms. They joined organizations fighting for immigrants and for LGBTQ rights.

And they ran for office, up and down the ballot. Because, well, if he could run and win,

so could pretty much anyone else. But in 2024, after another Trump presidential victory,

many people seem tired. We did this once. We did. We were all there.

And now we have to do it again.

Do we really have it in us to resist?

And what does that even mean?

What does it mean to stand up against Trump's worst ideas?

Where do we even begin to combat the policy agenda laid out in Project 2025?

One that seeks to gut access to reproductive

health care, and target the livelihoods of trans and LGBTQ people under a Republican governmental

trifecta, a trifecta that will be only emboldened by the conservative Supreme Court. Wow,

even saying all of that sucks. But for the ACLU, it means taking the fight against Trump's policies to the courts.
