This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government.
An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.
It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.
The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.
Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

The Poughkeepsie Social Security Office just showed up on the DOGE website under savings.
This is exactly what I feared when it closed for “temporary renovations.”
I have multiple seniors on with my team looking for help.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

Absolutely fuck the shitbag owner of the LA Times
My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.
And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.
Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.
