If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

A little Madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown -
Who ponders this tremendous scene -
This whole Experiment of Green -
As if it were his own!

Judge Alsup is not amused by reports that people he ordered reinstated were put on admin leave.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Court has read news reports that, in at least one agency, probationary employees are
being rehired but then placed on administrative leave en masse. This is not allowed by the
preliminary injunction, for it would not restore the services the preliminary injunction intends
to restore. Defendants shall state the extent to which any rehired probationary employees are
being placed on administrative leave by MARCH 18, 2025, AT NOON.

In fairness, he owns the government, also, so the performance of all his enterprises is not shocking.

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded.

All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.
