To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:
Don’t accept a buyout.
Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.
And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

I guess it was predictable Putin made Trump fire Turner before their post-inauguration meeting. Turner's success in supporting Ukraine ended up doing significant damage to Russia.
I'm sure Trump was thinking of keeping the country safe.

Not entirely confident that heaping massive tax cuts onto billionaires is going to lower the price of eggs.
There it is.
Trump’s Treasury nominee just said “extending” Trump’s tax handouts for billionaires is their TOP priority: “This is the single most important economic issue of the day.”

Why has Kamala Harris been AWOL after the election?
We need to learn from Trump who is constantly sending his message out. We need leaders to be engaged, not just ask for donations or make speeches during election season.
