Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Plans for Mass Layoffs and Program Closures An emergency ruling by a federal judge in California amounted to the broadest effort yet to halt the Trump administration’s overhaul of the federal government.

If it’s an independent agency then they were fired illegally. Say that. It’s accurate.

Trump has sat for only 12 ‘daily’ intelligence briefings since taking office The scarcity of the President’s Daily Briefings comes as he pursues high-stakes diplomacy with America’s friends and foes.

He just doesn’t care…

I’ve been saying this for years…Musk is a moron. He is absolutely not a genius, he is psychopath that uses his psychopathic behavior to appear enigmatic. His money and lack of empathy and remorse allow him to achieve success in ways no healthy person could or would. It’s all a lie.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why?

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Elon Musk gave two back to back Nazi salutes at the Trump inauguration parade

When I was a platoon leader, I had two trans Soldiers in my platoon; two of the most motivated & high-quality Soldiers I’ve observed.

Around 15k service members are trans. Expelling trained & capable SM’s harms national security.

Most importantly, it’s immoral & goes against our national values.

Probably the only time I was grateful for a MTG tweet.

NBC News confirms: Pete Hegseth paid a woman an undisclosed amount after she accused him of sexual assault.
