Judge allows #Trump to proceed w/legally questionable #buyouts

A federal judge allowed Trump to carry out his worker buyout as it continues to burn down the #USgovernment, setting back #unions & the justice system interested in stopping his plan.

Judge George O'Toole rejected a request by unions representing >800k #FederalEmployees for an order blocking the program. Unions have called the admin's buyout offer to civilian employees unlawful.

Don't forget that Kash Patel appeared on Peters' program multiple times, though he claimed not to know Peters when asked about those appearances during his Senate confirmation hearing. Even Peters said that Patel was clearly lying. https://www.threads.net/@rightwingwatchdotorg/post/DFd2NowTel3

An international team of scientists announced Wed the detection of an extraordinary, elusive #neutrino — a tiny, subatomic particle that flitted at close to the speed of light toward an undersea detector off the coast of Sicily carrying about 30k times the #energy generated by the largest particle accelerator on #earth.

The observation, unveiled in the journal #Nature, revealed the highest-energy neutrino ever detected.

Egypt's President Sisi to not attend any White House talks if Gaza displacement on agenda, Egyptian sources say | Reuters

It was never about “free speech.”

Yesterday was the greatest display of American weakness, and pure evil, ever seen in the White House. But the media still won’t say the quiet parts.

This regime is not a government, it is a murderous, racist Crusade.

Say it. Or die regretting you didn’t.

The Army and other service branches are abandoning recruiting efforts at a prestigious Black engineering event this week, turning down access to a key pool of highly qualified potential applicants amid President Donald Trump's purge of diversity initiatives in the military.

"It's f---ing racist," one active-duty Army general told Military.com on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. "For the Army now, it's 'Blacks need not apply' and it breaks my heart."

Example No. 65 of why you don’t elect clowns who place unqualified losers into positions of power.

Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."

In a letter asking the agency’s #IG to investigate, Rep #DanGoldman of NY & 6 other fmr #Justice Dept employees who now serve in #Congress accused #EmilBove, the acting dpty AG [& #trump #criminal defense atty], & #EdMartin, interim US attorney for DC [& #Jan6 insurgent], of engaging in “flagrant #ethics violations that compromise their ability to act in the public interest & undermine public trust in the Department of Justice.”

Following an investigation by New Mexico In Depth and ProPublica, Gallup-McKinley County says it cut down on long-term suspensions for Indigenous children and implemented policy reforms. But the state has not made it easy to verify these claims.

Was there ever a doubt?

“While the #Trump administration has highlighted transfers of dangerous criminals and suspected gang members to Guantanamo Bay, it is also sending nonviolent, "low-risk" migrant detainees who lack serious criminal records or any at all, according to two U.S. officials and internal government documents”

Ummm #Trump in the Oval Office just now said
“Judges want to try to stop us” & “maybe we have to look at the judges” then “I’ll ask #ElonMusk to say a few words”

#Musk proceeded to talk for 25+ minutes [FYI he’s still talking]

Who is president??

I’m all for the death of the penny, but you can’t just unilaterally decide to discontinue it without making provisions for prices that still include non-rounded cents. To sum up Trump is an idiot and has no clue what he’s doing (for the billionth time) #USPolitics
