Hosting the Olympics and World Cup are going to be impossible. What athlete in their right mind would risk coming to the US now?
Head coach of MMA Australian team Renato Subotic arrived in the US to teach a seminar. Instead he said he was detained at the border: "No clear explanation, no chance to talk to anyone, no rights. They handcuffed me, put me in a car, and drove me to federal prison."

Sarah Rector, at 11 years old, was one of the richest women in the United States.

This will impact so much research in St Louis!!
I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

DOD, State, Transport, EPA are 4 of the 12 where IG’s were sacked.
It’s hard to explain the significance of this if you haven’t worked in government. But take it from me. Firing 1 holdover ID would be news. A coordinated 12 on a Friday night,
is….HUGE
and we have an extremely dangerous president

📍DANGEROUS PURGE—In an unprecedented move, Trump has now fired **inspectors general** of >12 major federal agencies in an epic purge. IG investigate $$ fraud & abuse in each agency. This allows Trump to install diehard loyalists. But firing IG without 30 days notice is illegal!

Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.
