Why is Trump the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl?
Because all the presidents before him realized it would be extraordinarily wasteful to spend 15-20 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars to go in person.

The Trump Administration is hurting American farmers.
By freezing USDA conservation grants for farms and ending USAID, which buys 10-20% of the whole export market, Trump is taking direct aim at our farms.

USDA freezes farmer funding for some programs, conservation contracts
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has frozen some funding for farmers as it goes through a sweeping review, despite assurances from the Trump administration that programs helping farmers would not be affected in the government overhaul.

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

Musk's "deferred resignation" contract is a TRAP.
Anyone who signs it WAIVES all rights to pursue legal action against the government -- including TO ENFORCE THE RESIGNATION AGREEMENT ITSELF.
So Musk and Trump can just break the contract, and there's nothing you can do.

Trump is doing by executive order what he is too weak to do by legislation.
He does not have the votes in Congress.
He wouldn't be able to get ANY of this passed if he tried.
He is the WEAKEST incoming president in 50 years.

This memo from “OPM” to agency heads giving guidance on reclassifying career senior executive service (SES) employees as “general” (i.e. easier to fire) calls SES members “apolitical technocrats”. The technobrats and their king are literally saying that fair and impartial leadership needs to go.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
