The Trump admin being incredibly vindictive to the federal work force and threatening to withhold pay and conducting mass layoffs are really self defeating moves because they need a staffed work force for to actually enact the policies they want.

In a court filing, the White House says it may fire more than 4,000 federal employees amid the government shutdown. That’s thousands of Americans on the unemployment line, just because.

Court filing that states how many people will be fired from which agency

Anyone else think it's odd that the US just lost one of its last major munitions producer on the day the Nobel peace prize was awarded? The world has basically run out of high explosives and has no immediate capacity to scale back up to produce it again. Could be coincidence but it's kinda spooky.

Congrats to President Trump for getting his updated COVID-19 booster. I wonder if he thought about how many MAGA voters still believe the conspiracy theories he started while he rolled up his sleeve.

At this point I have to wonder if this demented fucking lunatic actually believes that China pays for the tariffs he levies on them.
"over and above any tariff they are currently paying".

It wouldn't be hard for someone like miller to create that bullshit talking point and convince him it's reality

More tariff policy evolution — via one man’s whim.

Here’s a reminder that this baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system — against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
