Wait so the plan is literally to take government workers researching kidney disease and keeping the water clean and have them make iPhone cases instead
I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

The situation at the FDA: new management insisting the water at the main campus is safe to drink, and around 10,000 returning staff—who have received warnings for months that the water may be contaminated with the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease—have no reason to believe them.
FDA staff return to crowded offices, broken equipment and missing chairs
Thousands of Food and Drug Administration employees are returning to the office to find overflowing parking lots, cramped workspaces and missing equipment.

Trump and Elon have been labeling any judge who upholds the law and the Constitution as an activist and arguing that they should be impeached. The Chief Justice of the United States rejected their calls to impeach federal judges who have aggressively pushed back on the administration’s initiatives.

An "aircraft carrier" can hold 5000+ people (much more under confined prisoner conditions). Trump is planning on upscaling.
NEW WH statement claims court order “had no lawful basis,” “was issued after…aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory”
