Republican Senator Roger Marshall held a town hall in his home state of Kansas over the weekend, and he ended up cutting the event very short after the questions got too hard for him to answer. The crowd was not happy from the start, and wanted answers on the cuts to Medicaid, cuts to veterans' care, and answers about what DOGE is actually doing. The Senator couldn't handle it and bailed out, and THEN his office blamed Democrats for infiltrating the crowd.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump re-stole the classified documents that he had taken to Mar-a-Lago at the end of his first administration, loading up about 15 boxes of documents aboard Air Force One and taking them down to Florida. Since he is now president, he would have the authority to do this if he declassified the documents or issued an executive order, but so far there's no indication that he has done either of those things.
Cabinet members in the Trump administration have had enough of Elon Musk meddling in their offices, according to a new report from The Washington Post. These department heads - who were appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Senate - are getting annoyed with Musk's constant interference that is hindering the few people still working in the government from actually being able to do their jobs. Musk's meddling is causing the government to be far less efficient.
The Trump administration has decided to recalculate how GDP is determined by eliminating government spending from the equation - but not ALL government spending. They are only planning to stop calculating how much government employees are being paid in order to hide a potential drop in GDP after all the mass firings. This will be a way to convince the public that things are good, when the exact opposite will be true.
