Records show how DOGE planned Trump’s DEI purge — and who gets fired next

Bad news: I fell for a con this weekend and ended up with my FB account hijacked and likely the permanent loss of control of my account. Good news: I don’t have to be out of town until Tuesday moving my uncle to a care facility.

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things:
1. They know it is a terrible idea.
2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.
