Corrupt

Lutnik’s family’s been buying tariff refund rates, and now refunds are coming. Hmmmmmmmm
FEMA stealing state supplies
- Trump’s admin used the DPA to seize supplies from states, saying they need to prioritize federal orders
- Blue states (Maryland, Mass, Ill) literally deployed state police and the national guard to prevent federal agents from confiscating them
- also it’s just incompetence - telling every state “get your own shit” and then confiscating it anyways
- extra bad because sometimes states had to pay for shit twice - the first time was (get it themselves), and the second was after the fed confiscated it and sold it back to the same state!!
- theoretically you could argue that they weren’t “stealing from the blue, giving to the red”, but when Florida received 100% of their requests and Mass, NJ, Ill. got <10%, come fucking on
- Trump even explicitly talked about not helping certain governors he doesn’t like, eg. “Don’t call the woman in Michigan” (referring to Whitmer)
- This was done under Project Airbridge, which was run by Jared Kushner.

Trump Repeals Key Greenhouse Gas Finding, Erasing EPA’s Power to Fight Climate Change - The New York Times
- he’s repealing the 2009 endangerment finding, the thing that established how greenhouse gases like CO2, methane, and others are a danger to Americans’ health
- by doing this, they’re arguing that the Clean Air Act can’t limit these pollutants
- still saying climate change is a hoax

- Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says “CO2 was never a pollutant”, dumb fuck
Iran War
- guy extended his “deadlines” 4 times (Daily Beast)
- Gabbard states that Iran didn’t have the ability to create weapons-grade uranium or nuclear arms, so that whole angle of justification is bullshit (YouTube - U.S. Senate Intelligence Hearing)

The Signal Chats (plural!)
- Hegseth using an unauthorized communication channel with disappearing chats so there’s no audit trail

Pete Hegseth accidentally cancelled deployment of troops to Poland
- Daily Beast, WSJ, The Independent, Politico
- cancelled 4000 troops to be deployed, at the last second, confusing both Poles and Americans
- troops and equipment were literally already starting to arrive
- Trump apparently got mad as fuck because he’s not mad at Poland, called them a “model ally”
- Hegseth’s rational was to “reduce the number of troops in Europe, even though Poland never gave the US shit for the war
- Trump undoes it days later, now compensating for this by sending 5000 troops?
- a whole bunch of republicans like Rep. Mike Rogers (Ala.) are mad af too
Stupid
