Trump 47

Upon his resignation as the Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease CDC, @drdemetre said this:

“I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”.

This is unprecented. It is a fucking disgrace that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS. He is literally MANIPULATING DATA.

 
Trump's 'Takeover' Has Military Cleaning Up for Fired Parks Workers. Service members from across the country were ordered to leave their families and jobs behind. Their mission in D.C. isn't to stop crime, but to pick up trash—replacing the 180 Washington DC parks workers that were fired earlier this year by DOGE.

 
A pair of senior Washington, D.C., police commanders acknowledged Tuesday that the ongoing federal law enforcement surge in the nation’s capital is alienating the population and damaging community relationships that will have to be mended in the future.

 
Many people voted for Trump because they wanted to blow up a system that wasn't working for them.

What they didn't want was for us to destroy every civilizational advance this country has made and to reject science, technology and the things that will allow us to win in the 21st century.

 
Never thought of that 😂 😂

Wearing camo designes to hide them from the human enemy they want to kill and wearing high via orange vest on top of it to pick up garbage

If ever there was a perfect metaphor for this pathetic excuse of a Presidency

Trump Celebrates Labor Day With An Attack On Union Workers​

Just ahead of Labor Day weekend, President Donald Trump escalated his attack on the federal workforce by trying to strip union rights from more federal employees.

Trump signed an executive order Thursday purporting to strip collective-bargaining abilities from workers at the National Weather Service, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and other federal agencies, claiming a “national security” exemption.


The move builds on a sweeping executive order in March that aimed to end bargaining rights for an estimated 1 million federal workers under the same premise.

Federal unions continue to challenge that order in federal court, noting that many of the workers covered by it — including nurses and park rangers — obviously serve no national-security functions. They’ve called the administration’s actions retaliation for their opposition to Trump’s federal workforce agenda.

Matt Biggs, president of the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers, which represents NASA workers who would lose their union under the order, said it was “particularly upsetting” that Trump chose to sign his latest order just ahead of Labor Day, a federal holiday meant to honor the U.S. labor movement and how it has improved the lives of American workers.

“The Trump Administration has doubled down on being the most anti-labor, anti-worker administration in United States history,” Biggs said in a statement.

He added that bargaining rights for civil servants at NASA “extend back to the 1960s.”

Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, noted that some of the agencies in Trump’s Thursday order had already been “hollowed out” by cuts from the administration and its so-called Department of Government Efficiency. In fact, the weather service is having to hire hundreds of workers after pushing too many out the door.

Another agency covered by the order, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which supervises the government-funded Voice of America broadcast overseas, has already been gutted by the administration.

“This latest executive order is another clear example of retaliation against federal employee union members who have bravely stood up against his anti-worker, anti-American plan to dismantle the federal government,” Kelley said in a statement.
 

Trump moves to permanently cancel $4.9 Billion in funding already approved by Congress in a tactic not used since 1983.​


ASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump has moved to unilaterally cancel $4.9 billion in federal funding authorized by Congress, escalating the fight over who controls the nation's spending.

In a letter posted online late Thursday, Trump told House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson that he plans to withhold funding for 15 international programs, including some overseen by the State Department, the Agency for International Development (USAID).


The U.S. Constitution grants funding power to Congress, which every year has to pass legislation to fund government operations.

The White House must secure Congress' approval if it does not want to spend that money. Congress did this in July when it canceled $9 billion in foreign aid and public media funding.

Trump budget director Russell Vought has argued that Trump does not need Congress' approval and can withhold funds for 45 days, which would run out the clock until the funding expires at the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. Project Democracy, a nonpartisan advocacy group, says the tactic has not been used since 1983.

Democrats say the administration had frozen more than $425 billion in funding, which some Republicans say is illegal.

"The power of the purse rests with us and we have to take that seriously," Senator Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, said in a July interview.

But other Republicans, like Johnson, have said they support spending cuts in any form.

It is unclear if more Republicans will object.
