Trump and DOGE want to slash the FDIC's workforce by 20%, leaving fewer watchdogs on the beat to police Wall Street misconduct.
Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts.
Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag *was so they could produce fascist content*.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

The Oversight Committee must immediately call in Hegseth to testify under oath. This huge national security blunder by the Trump Administration has to be investigated.
Then, Hegseth must resign or be fired. In just two months, his incompetence has made our country much less safe.
