I’ve been trying to understand to what degree Trump now controls Venezuela’s oil money

ICYMI: Looks as if Interior Department is thinking about firing a bunch of people on Monday, according to a legal filing last night.
This would violate a judge’s temporary restraining order on the shutdown firings.

Slipped into a 10:40pm email last night:
USDA is “repurposing” $285 million to start a farmer assistance program 1 year earlier than Congress authorized.

This NYT story doesn’t have the whole picture on FEMA’s response
Yes, FEMA only got 2 new search + rescue units active in TX as of yesterday. But 2 other teams, also part of FEMA’s elite search and rescue squads, are based in TX and were activated immediately, alongside the US Coast Guard.
