How about a concept of a plan of a roundup of the news of this clusterfuck?
President of France calls for Europe to stop investing in the United States because of tariffs put in place by felon47 .
PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron called on Thursday for European companies to suspend planned investment in the United States after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping global tariffs on American imports.
“Investments to come or investments announced in recent weeks should be suspended until things are clarified with the United States,” Macron said during a meeting with French industry representatives.
Speaking of tariffs, Russia dodged the bullet.
Donald Trump’s new trade crackdown had one eyebrow-raising omission: Russia.
The absence of Russia on the president’s new list of countries that he’ll hit with steep tariffs did not go unnoticed on social media. Critics were quick to accuse Trump of kowtowing to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom Trump has for years expressed his admiration of.
Evidently, felon47 is now also taking marching orders from Laura Loomer.
President Donald Trump fired at least three National Security Council officials this week after far-right activist Laura Loomer met with him and expressed dissatisfaction with some officials on his national security team, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Trump confirmed the meeting Thursday but denied that Loomer — whom he called a “patriot” and a “very strong person” — recommended any terminations.
The president told reporters on Air Force One that it was customary to let go of “people that we don’t like, or people that we don’t think do the job, or people that may have loyalty to somebody else.” He said he wasn’t sure how many officials had been fired.
But, hey, there may be some good news in this. Check out this tidbit further down in the article. (The bolding is mine.)
The revolving door of interim senior officials is back, of course.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department’s top official overseeing the agency’s management, appointed by President Donald Trump’s administration, is stepping down after less than three months, according to an internal email seen by Reuters on Thursday and a department spokesperson.
Tibor Nagy, who also served during the first Trump administration and has been performing the duties of the under secretary for management at the State Department since January 20, said in an email to staff that he was returning to retirement.
He had taken the job on an interim basis, U.S. officials say.
“Ambassador Nagy was honored to come out of retirement to help stand-up the second Trump administration, and it was always his plan to perform the duties of the Under Secretary for Management until more State Department leaders were confirmed,” a State Department spokesperson said in an email.
Nagy served as one of the top officials who oversaw the planned changes at the State Department as Trump and his advisor and billionaire Elon Musk embarked on an unprecedented push to shrink the federal government.
If it’s good enough for felon47 doing a stealth run for office in 2028, it’s good enough for his appointees in 2025, right?
And how’re things going over at Anti-Vaccine Central, I mean HHS?
On the heels of terminating 10,000 jobs from the Department of Health and Human Services this week, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told ABC News some programs would soon be reinstated because they were mistakenly cut.
They were not mistakenly cut. They were intentionally cut by incompetents at the top. The blowback is what’s gotten this admin back to it’s usual response: lie like Hell.
But, hey, how’s that reinstatement of people you canned going? Bobby Novax? There’s no word on that, but I’m not going to be surprised when it’s a repeat of previous mass firing reversal by these incompetents.
A federal judge has issued an order blocking billions of dolllars in cuts health programs funding to the states.
A federal judge will temporarily block President Donald Trump’s administration from cutting billions in federal dollars that support COVID-19 initiatives and public health projects throughout the country.
U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy, appointed by Trump in 2019 but first nominated by former President Barack Obama, in Rhode Island said Thursday that she plans to grant the court order sought by 23 states and the District of Columbia .
“They make a case, a strong case, for the fact that they will succeed on the merits, so I’m going to grant the temporary restraining order,” said McElroy, who plans to issue a written ruling later.
New York Attorney General Letitia James tweeted about the judge’s decision immediately after the hearing, saying: “We’re going to continue our lawsuit and fight to ensure states can provide the medical services Americans need."
The 2nd Felonial Era is not interested in a court examining their actions.
Despite a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official acknowledging there was an “administrative error ” in sending a Maryland man to El Salvador – the Trump administration is “shockingly” not seeking his return to the U.S., according to a new filing by the man’s lawyer.
Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who has a U.S. citizen wife and 5-year-old child, is currently at CECOT, the notorious prison in El Salvador despite a judge issuing an order in 2019 that barred authorities from deporting him to his home country.
Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, the attorney representing Abrego Garcia said in a filing on Wednesday that if the Trump administration’s actions are allowed to remain without “redress,” then “the orders of immigration courts are meaningless.”
Isn’t there a thread here about Trump not being able to do whatever he wants? This looks like more evidence that he is.
As does this case.
A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the government to release a Venezuelan Temporary Protected Status holder who was wrongfully detained in January and was almost put on a deportation flight to El Salvador.
U.S. District Judge Rolando Olvera also ordered the government to pay for Adrian Gil Rojas’ travel back to his home in New York from a detention center in Texas.
Remember Stephen Miller? Well, he doesn’t seem to remember the constitution.
President Trump ’s Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller ranted against Democrats for having the “temerity” to demand the Trump administration follow the U.S. Constitution and hold hearings for deported asylum seekers.
“They have the temerity to say that every single invader that Joe Biden let in should get their own individual judicial trial before they’re deported,” Miller, who is also White House deputy chief of staff for policy, told Fox News . “One at a time. Each one. A million-dollar trial in front of a communist judge to decide whether or not we can send them home.”
“How about hell no?” he raved while host Jesse Watters laughed at the absurdity of actually providing the due process guaranteed by the Constitution.
I guess that’s why this story is not an outlier presently.
Just days after one of his students was detained without warning by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Minnesota State University-Mankato President Edward Inch announced Wednesday that five international students have had their visas canceled by the Department of Homeland Security.
Inch said neither the students nor the university had been informed that their student visa statuses had been terminated on the Student Exchange Visitor Information System, with the university only discovered it when it ran a status check.
But, hey, felon47 is working on the important stuff!
The Trump administration is exploring a can-you-top-this financial maneuver if it were to obtain Greenland , The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
The newspaper wrote that one option in a White House cost analysis of a takeover is to essentially “offer a sweeter deal” to the semi-autonomous Danish territory’s government than Denmark does. The Danes allocate about $600 million a year to services for the island, WaPo estimated.
The U.S. offer under White House consideration “is a lot higher than that,” an official familiar with the plans told the Post. “The point is, ‘We’ll pay you more than Denmark does.’”
How’s that for fiscal responsibility, naysayers?
What a clusterfuck.
