BREAKING: Donald Trump says he's directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 migrants in the U.S. illegally. https://t.co/rJvpWb1aQe
Asked how organizations that rely on federal funding should make payroll, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says they should call Russ Vought and make a case
Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause:
"the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."
Why, you might ask, would Trump post something completely made up that involves the US military entering blue states under emergency powers to restore order and functioning to society? Bueller?
Getting rid of federal affirmative action and (soon) disparate impacts, trying to strangle or roll back nonwhite immigration. GOP donor class and movement types slavering for New Deal programs
How far back do they want us to go
Maybe SCOTUS will toss it, but in the meantime the fact that a bunch of people legally in the US (H1bs) suddenly do not know the status of their soon to be born children is genuinely terrifying for them. Just utterly wretched chaos.
SHOCKING but not shocking. As I predicted, Trump's birthright citizenship EO includes a Kamala Harris clause, specifically designed to deny the legitimacy of her US citizenship as the child of someone with a temporary status. This order jeopardizes the citizenship of millions...

He claims in the Posts that he would like to see the United States have a 50% Ownership of TikTok in a Joint Venture alongside the current or new Owners, which doesn’t make any sense in regard to the Ban.
The president-elect launched a shitcoin to enrich himself the weekend before inauguration.
Feels like this scale of corruption should be basically the story of the inauguration if there was anyone left in the country who isn’t either in on the grift or a boiled frog.
