#trumps disapproval rating is higher than his approval rating btw

Mass email to air traffic controllers today urging them to quit.

Elon Musk's cronies have blocked career civil servants from accessing key federal employee data systems, raising security concerns since now those employees can't see what he is doing to the computer systems.

25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico go into effect today. In Canada the mood is retaliatory, I hope this sinks the conservatives' chances at the next election over there.

CDC deleted data including HIV, LGBTQ, at-risk teens and at-risk communities from their website. They are under a gag order to not discuss but this is all public information.

Another judge upheld that the funding freeze - which is still in effect btw even though they rescinded the memo, national science foundation grants and money for researching public health and the environment is still frozen, plus of course foreign humanitarian aid - is highly illegal and violated the Impoundment Act.**

**Which might be what they want since a leaked Heritage Foundation memo says the play is to appeal the block all the way up to the supreme Court who will then rule to give Trump full control over money already approved and appropriated by Congress.

Also, to keep the funds frozen they have blocked access to the automatic payment systems, which is concerning all by itself... When I worked for a school district that operated this way (superintendent and business manager had to personally approve all the funds, everything took forever since there were no sutomatic systems in place) it is because they were stealing money from the budget.

Trump already proposing tax cuts for corporations (who saw record high profits last year) and the ultra-wealthy (by lowering estate taxes).

I know that last part is why corporations and billionaires supported his election but these are the actions of a saboteur. Surely the excuse that "it was the DEI hires" (with the implication that EVERY minority and woman in government is a "DEI hire") won't work every time????

We need the 91% of Republicans who currently approve of Trump's performance to wake up immediately and ask their congresspeople to impeach him or declare him mentally unfit. It's the only way forward.

If you want to feel a little hope, consider dropping by r/fednews. They're getting angry and sharing the emails and memos they've been getting.
