If something goes down 10% and then up 10% are you back where you started?

Buried within one of Trump’s executive orders was a shady pull back on notice-and-comment rulemaking.

Laura Loomer got the NSA chief fired—someone she’s almost certainly never even met. The guy’s a four-star general with three master’s degrees and over three decades of military service.

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.
