Nine Days In
It’s certainly been an interesting nine days since Trump’s indoor inauguration on Jan 20th.
There’s been a flurry of executive orders, followed by freezes to federal funding, and gaffes around international relations including doubling down on the idea that Gazans should just abandon Gaza.
Yesterday (still just Januaray 28th, mind) hit the trifecta:
- Trump offered a voluntary reduction program (read: buyouts) to all 2 million Federal employees, with the goal of reducing expenses by $100 Billion
- There’s word that “loyalty questions” are part of employment at the whitehouse.
- Real cancer studies and federally funded jobs (like civil engineers that insepct bridges) are impacted.
No idea where this is going, but we’re still not up to double digit days under this regime.
