A judge has ordered the reinstatement of thousands of probationary federal employees who were unjustly fired, highlighting a significant abuse of power within the federal government. This ruling directly counters actions taken by an unnamed office, referred to here as “DOGE,” which had been operating as though it possessed the authority to dismiss employees, cancel contracts, and control spending without proper Congressional authorization. The judge’s decision underscores the lack of legitimate authority on DOGE’s part, effectively labeling their actions as a potential coup d’état disguised as administrative reform.
The judge’s order further prohibits the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from issuing any guidance regarding the termination of employees.… Continue reading
King Charles presented a ceremonial sword to Greg Peters, Canada’s Usher of the Black Rod, a symbolic gesture of support amid President Trump’s annexationist rhetoric. This action, along with recent meetings with Prime Minister Trudeau, the wearing of Canadian medals, and the planting of a maple tree, demonstrates the King’s solidarity with Canada. Royal watchers interpret these actions as subtle yet significant displays of support for Canadian sovereignty, mirroring similar symbolic gestures employed by Queen Elizabeth II. The sword, commissioned to mark the change of reign, is viewed as a powerful symbol of this support. The timing of these actions is seen as particularly meaningful given the current political climate.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will vote to advance a Republican-led government funding bill, averting a potential shutdown despite internal Democratic divisions. This decision follows intense pressure regarding the Trump administration’s dismantling of federal agencies. While acknowledging flaws in the bill, Schumer deemed a shutdown far more damaging, granting Trump and Musk unrestrained power. The bill, which funds the government through September 2025, passed the House but faces opposition from some Democrats who prefer a shorter-term stopgap measure. Despite this internal conflict, Schumer’s support is crucial given the Republicans’ narrow Senate majority.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is eliminating two pandemic-era programs that provided over $1 billion to schools and food banks for local food purchases. This funding, totaling $660 million for schools and an unspecified amount for food banks, enabled initiatives like direct purchases from local farmers and fishermen, improving school meal quality and supporting local economies. The termination, attributed to the programs’ pandemic origins and shifting USDA priorities, is causing concern amongst school districts and food banks already facing budgetary constraints and rising food costs. Critics fear this signals further cuts to school nutrition programs, potentially impacting children’s access to reliable food sources.
