Schumer said we had to keep the government open so Trump and Musk couldn’t shut down agencies
News: Journalists at Voice of America were just informed that they’ve been put on administrative leave. Two people there told me this went to all fulltime employees.
“From what we can tell, VOA is effectively shut down from this moment.”

This comes after Trump's DOJ dropped bribery charges against Eric Adams and suspended enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law.
