Trump’s Favorite Time

And how American citizens perservered

Anyone else looking for reassurance?.

Inspectors General of 17 major governmental agencies were fired by Trump in a “late-night purge” Friday night. The Justice Department was not one of them. When he was president in 2020, he dismissed five.

“Inspectors general are charged with rooting out government waste, fraud, abuse and preventing misconduct,” Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, said in a statement. “President Trump is dismantling checks on his power and paving the way for widespread corruption.”

Newly sworn-in Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered the end to all foreign aid from the US, except for Israel and Egypt. This includes development and military aid. But this move may be unlawful.

“Freezing these international investments will lead our international partners to seek other funding partners — likely US competitors and adversaries — to fill this hole and displace the United States’ influence the longer this unlawful impoundment continues,” a source in The Guardian said on condition of anonymity. One senior department official called this “manufatured chaos.” Agencies will have to stop work until reviewed by Rubio. Read fully in The Guardian.
