I work in a grocery store and we’ve not yet received any memos about “working along” with anyone.
Maybe it only applies to those grocery stores where you have to show your voter ID to buy anything.
If you’re local and you know the people there, once you all talk to the Commerce Secretary, Wilbur, you can all work along. It’s just like the mortgage companies.
If a bank wanted to give interest-free loans to federal workers, would it be illegal for them to do so?
Doesn’t seem to be, at least for the Navy Federal Credit Union.
Credit unions may operate under different rules than banks
I should also note that Wilbur Ross’ Commerce Department’s credit union is offering emergency loans at…8.99%. And up.
The term limit and the amount limit are relevant. A longer term and/or a greater amount may have tax implications for the bank if they charge less than the market rate.
California Republican state legislator Brian Maienschein has switched to the Democratic Party while criticizing Individual 1.
Cynical me was thinking that he realized that Republicans in California are pretty much like unicorns, and he did it to keep his job, which is exactly what the Republican Leader of the state Assembly said (I thought it before I saw his comments).

CNN is saying that the National Emergency order is being drafted as as we speak, and that legions of lawyers are being hired on to handle the eminent domain litigation that will inevitably accompany seizing enough land to build the Monument to Stupid. They claim to have found $7B that can be diverted from other allocations.
He was smart enough to get off a sinking ship, at least, which puts him ahead of the other Republicans here. California does not have party primaries any more, but an election with everyone and then a runoff on election day for the two top vote getters - often both Democrats.
It will be interesting to see how he does.
The families of dead service members don’t get their death benefits during the shutdown, including funeral expenses and travel expenses to Dover AFB to pick up their dead loved one’s body.

How are they being hired? I thought the government was shut down.
And there goes Roger Stone. YES!
In the Indictment: “By in or around June and July 2016, STONE informed senior Trump Campaign officials that he had info indicating Org. 1 had docs whose release would be damaging to the Clinton Campaign. The head of Org. 1 was located … at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.”
To quote the above article: Pounding on his door, one agent said: “FBI. Open the door.”
Stone opened the door." (bolding mine)
Here’s hoping that last sentence means something metaphorical. As in, opened the door to the most revealing evidence in this investigation, bringing over 200 charges of fraud against the Trump family…
Oh please, oh please, oh please let Pence be one of the “senior Campaign officials”. Please!
And there goes Assange and Wikileaks.
I saw the snippet where the quote came from and I think my blood pressure spiked. Would that I had the power to freeze all of his accounts so that he and his family had to get by for the next month on the cash they happened to have on them when the freeze happened.
I’d assume Don Jr or Bannon.
When do the guillotines come out?
I’ve been seeing this on their website since yesterday afternoon, but no other major news orgs have mentioned anything about it.
I originally read this quickly as “They claim to have found $78 that can be diverted from other allocations.”
THAT figure I can believe.
