It's an election year even if he's not on the ballot. Nothing is likely to come of this & even if it does then the rates go back up in '27.

Great piece, the story in _The Atlantic_ is also funny and informative. www.marketplace.org/story/2026/0... Apparently the only federal job that doesn't take any brains is ICE agent. OTOH, most people wouldn't do well since you're required to deed your conscience to Miller and Noem.
How many federal jobs could you do?
Alexandra Petri at The Atlantic spent five months attempting to do federal work targeted for cuts — including forecasting the weather and collecting price data.

This madness needs to end. Noem, her jigolo unpaid assistant and Bovino should be removed from DHS/ICE immediately. ICE personnel should be ordered to standdown immediately.

Don’t Call It Regime Change. This Is Something Else Entirely. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/o... "But for Donald Trump, the preservation of something close to the status quo makes sense, given that his goal is extortion, not political transformation." Trump, Rubio & Hegseth are war criminals.

A former staffer said that U.S. officials would not be performing a formal occupation like in Iraq. “We’re going to tell them: ‘Hey, this is what you have to do in order for there not to be another strike. That’s what [Trump] sees as running the country.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Well the war in the Caribbean is not distracting the press from the Epstein files so in the classic fashion of "wag the dog" he'll start another one.
"But the one truth in Trump’s unhinged messages, as in so many of his statements, is that the United States is now led by someone who cannot contain his thoughts or emotions, and who still thinks of the men and women of the U.S. military as little more than his own toy soldiers."
Happy New Year. The president just threatened Operation Iranian Freedom.

So, the actual Heritage Americans sued about the placement of an immigration facility in the Everglades and are now being punished by the Trump administration
In his veto letter, President Trump blamed the Miccosukee Tribe for having “actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.”
