ya think? the good news is that the WHOLE world is watching....

What happened in Minneapolis today is an inexcusable tragedy. My heart is with the victim's family and loved ones.

One thing is clear: ICE is out of control. We have to listen to local leaders warning that ICE is putting communities in danger.

ICE must leave Minneapolis now.

TRUMP: Thank you very much, Vladimir

PUTIN: Next time in Moscow

TRUMP: Oooh. That's an interesting one. I'll get a little heat on that one, but I could see it possibly happening

(Trump and Putin then leave)

Such a classic!

Put that dude’s name down on the witness list for 2027 hearings.

Aaron. thanks SO MUCH for your real-time commentary. greatly appreciated, as i concurrently watched it live.

Moi non plus.

During the first week of his administration, President Trump issued a number of directives concerning the federal workforce. Among those directives, the President required that employees return to in-person work, restored accountability for employees who have policy-making authority, restored accountability for senior career executives, and reformed the federal hiring process to focus on merit. As a result of the above orders, the reform of the federal workforce will be significant. The reformed federal workforce will be built around four pillars: 1) Return to Office: The substantial majority of federal employees who have been working remotely since Covid will be required to return to their physical offices five days a week. Going forward, we also expect our physical offices to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in physical office relocations for a number of federal workers. 2) Performance culture: The federal workforce should be comprised of the best America has to offer. We will insist on excellence at every level - our performance standards will be updated to reward and promote those that exceed expectations and address in a fair and open way those who do not meet the high standards which the taxpayers of this country have a right to demand. 3) More streamlined and flexible workforce: While a few agencies and even branches of the military are likely to see increases in the size of their workforce, the majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force. These actions are likely to include the use of furloughs and the reclassification to at-will status for a substantial number of federal employees.

Upon review of the below deferred resignation letter, if you wish to resign: 1) Select "Reply" to this email. You must reply from your government account. A reply from an account other than your government account will not be accepted. 2) Type the word "Resign" into the body of this reply email. Hit "Send". THE LAST DAY TO ACCEPT THE DEFERRED RESIGNATION PROGRAM IS FEBRUARY 6, 2025. Deferred resignation is available to all full-time federal employees except for military personnel of the armed forces, employees of the U.S. Postal Service, those in positions related to immigration enforcement and national security, and those in any other positions specifically excluded by your employing agency.

New: I got a copy of the OPM federal jobs buyout email. It was sent out directly to federal employees, and it appears the new system-wide email is working.

"If you wish to resign: Type the word 'Resign' into the body of this reply email. Hit 'Send'."

Where can one find the memo that you referenced re: the Loomer-Musk conflict?

Republicans are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review cases out of Illinois and Montana that could upend election administration in the United States.
