Government should only act as an equity investor in private industry in crisis situations.

This is far different than when government makes purchase orders from private business or uses private business as a contractor or subcontractor.
The Trump/Musk co-presidency is the definition of crony capitalism.

That was the entire idea behind his order I think.

Meanwhile FBI agents who “followed orders” in the January 6 probe won’t lose their jobs according to a Justice Department official in a workforce memo.

Secretary of State Rubio has struck a deal with Guatamala’s President to have them accept migrants from other countries who get deported from the U.S.

I've been hearing a lot about how Trump wants to spill all this shit out in hopes of getting some group of people in the streets so he can declare martial law.

I'm shocked absolutely nothing has happened yet. This country is getting torn down at the seams and everyone is just standing by with their dicks in their hands.

I'm curious as to what the "protest non vote" Palestinians have to say.

Same. It's not like tRump would somehow start to give two shits about any brown skinned persons (or ANYONE besides himself, for that matter!)...

Great point. I'm not quite sure what they felt they were accomplishing.

From the NYT:
Two weeks into President Trump’s sweeping freeze on foreign aid, H.I.V. groups abroad have not received any funding, jeopardizing the health of more than 20 million people, including 500,000 children. Subsequent waivers from the State Department have clarified that the work can continue, but the funds and legal paperwork to do so are still missing.

With the near closure of the American aid agency known as U.S.A.I.D. and its recall of officers posted abroad, there is little hope that the situation will resolve quickly, experts warned.

H.I.V. treatment and services were funded through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, a $7.5 billion program that was frozen along with all foreign aid on Mr. Trump’s first day in office.

On my Meijer app, I see that a dozen large eggs is $4.59. Do you think someone fat fingered that and it's actually $1.59?

...and as for the opposition, we're still wheeling out good ol' Chuck Schumer. Hakim Jeffries is outlining a "ten point plan". Yeah, because the Democrats are so good at messaging.

Sorry, they're not gonna be able to finger wag their way through this one. Better figure some shit out. Quick.
