Really?! So...what happened?
“We do not do civil detention arrests,” Police Chief Paul Saucier said at the time, reassuring them that they wouldn’t be party to the ICE assault Trump was about to unleash. The police, he said, “do not have the authority to affect a civil arrest.”

Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.
Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence

So I’m confused. I just went to look at the Doge website which is just hawking the coin. Then I found the notice of the establishment of Doge on 1/20. All it talks about is software and technology. Nothing about cutting jobs or costs or programs or agencies.
