No one should be fooled that this has anything to do with the shutdown. These illegal firings have been long planned and were laid out in Project 2025. Maybe next election people will pay attention and not spread misinformation like egg prices were on Joe Biden or both parties are the same and press will report on reality and stop caring about only access - if it's not already too late.

Some people on this app are a trip. Constantly pick pick picking at the party that voters made a minority but also expect to “fight” at the same time. Republicans love it when you blame Democrats, though, because they love manipulating idiots into voting against everyone’s best interests.
ICE agents have killed another person in Chicago. They say the man severely injured them, but they had no cameras to corroborate. The cameras show they’re lying. This is how I know there can’t be any good Republicans left. They have unending commentary on the most benign shit, but are totally silent about this. Bodycam videos show ICE agents’ initial reactions to fatal Chicago shooting:

Video from local police who first responded to the scene provides crucial context, since the immigration agents weren't wearing body cameras.
According to the Supreme Court, Biden couldn’t forgive student loans even though that would’ve added 0 to the deficit. But Trump? He slaps tariffs on farmers, wrecks their markets, then raids our tax dollars to bail them out, twice. And he’s denying certain cities funds that Congress already approved. And there’s not even enough money there to do what he’s promising. Who voted for this?

Democrats don't get to decide if the government shuts down. They don't control any branch of government. Country made sure of that.
If there was ever an industry we should be happy to see die, coal mining is it. It ruins the environment and maims and kills the workers. And for what it's worth, there are far more people employed in renewable energy than in the coal industry. It's just crazy. Alternatives are also now much cheaper for consumers. The raw stupidity of this administration is breathtaking. Literally in this case. Trump’s $625 million coal plan may raise utility bills of Americans:

Trump's latest coal maneuver will benefit utilities and coal companies, but it will come at the expense of taxpayers.
My second reminder that no one needs to believe any information the Trump administration puts out, including Kash Patel’s FBI. This administration lies constantly and always blames Democrats for everything, usually without evidence and often counter to the evidence. So I will discount all of their announcements because I have no reason to trust anything they say.
