If anyone would know, it’s Trump. 😂

What does this do to help domestic producers?

But what about the fentanyl? I thought tariffs were to keep fentanyl out of the country.

So they could have paid their employees the entire time? “The Department of Homeland Security said it would pay for the bonuses using carryover funds from fiscal year 2025.”

Also, the DOJ interpreted that 2019 law to say only working feds would be back payed, not furloughed not working feds. The court cases would have kept those federal employees in limbo, without pay for potentially years.

Warner is up for election next year. Kaine is up for election in 2030. Kaine worked out protections to save recently RIFed federal employees and helped fund SNAP through FY26.

He has been very clear in his communication to his constituents (newsletters) that he would support any deal that got RIFed federal employees their jobs back, and guaranteed back pay for all furloughed employees. He knows where his bread is buttered.

There aren’t any SNAP customers currently. Discounts wouldn’t violate SNAP rules.

They have a right to request and you have a right to refuse. Ring will only share your footage with a warrant or court order and they will notify the owner of the camera

I hope the ruling only applies to the states that sued.

This means absolutely nothing as the House would need to pass it and Trump would need to sign it.

It’s not a coincidence that he said he’s paying for the White House ballroom today, at a cost of roughly $230 million.

I’m glad my parents aren’t having children.

This may be their plan. Exempt employees are only furloughed when they are not at work. If you tell them they won’t get paid for the days they call out, it may encourage them to show up.

Great comeback! Why don’t you go play with your toys while the adults have a conversation.

The fascist takeover will happen with or without a budget. A shutdown makes it easier for them to gain control with more than half of feds sitting at home. The Dems gain nothing by allowing a shutdown.

Don’t forget Charlie Lindgren scoring on himself! 😂
