Her blood is on Trump's hands
Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.
Apparently she offered to cover other people's shifts so they could go home to their families for the holiday.

Either push back or boycott.
I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

He never knows anything
I need a supercut of Johnson saying "I don't know the details." Seems like he's got a lot of free time on his hands these days. Maybe, I don't know, he could spend some of it brushing up on some of those details?
Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?
MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

The new editor of CBS News looked at political violence in America, and confidently identified the "biggest culprits": the universities.
