The Trump-Vance Administration (The People Who Work For Trump)

Ehhh....in fairness the guy is worth 100 billion and she asked for 1. If she asked for half that's different....obviously I don't know the details of their relationship and really really don't care to but I don't think giving her 1% is too clown worldly. Hell most guys would dance to sign the check to make their ex wives go away for 1% haha.

She's the right's version of Melinda Gates/Mackenzie Scott.

What I find interesting with her is she started as RFK Jr's VP running mate, when he was still a Democrat running as an independent candidate.

He ended up coming over to Trump in part because Trump would back RFK's primary issues relating to pharmaceuticals and the food industry. Since then, RFK Jr seems to have become more and more MAGA as he bonds with Trump, and has become increasingly disgusted with the left. I'd say he's still a JFK Dem at heart.

I would have expected Shanahan to have broken with RFK when he went MAGA, but instead she has gone MAGA too. If I understand right, she's not a mega billionaire. She's apparently worth less than $2 billion. Putting up big money to primary 13 senators would be a big percentage of her wealth!

We'll have to see if she puts her money where her mouth is, but at least right now she's gone from Independent Dem candidate to hard core MAGA.

He's been saying this consistently. Last year he was saying it's been 19 years. I believe there really was a point 20 years ago when he became convicted of the need to fight this fight, and asked God to grant him the chance to do so, and he"s been fighting ever since.

God bless and strenghten him.

"First, Senator Warren, Hi-how-are-ya, Hi-how-are-ya? You seem to going a bit off the reservation about the personal profiting allegations against me and because I don't want you big mad and to leave in a Trail of Tears, I want to emphasize I will not take any wampum for personal gain. I am not for sale. I must ask you, though, Senator...have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? As a peace offering, I bring a bouquet of pollinated flowers for your hummingbird friend. Finally, I do regret to inform you that on the drive here, I unintentionally ran over your raccoon pal with my car. I promise, though, to consume and use every part of his body, in your honor. Let us paint with all the colors of the wind."

-RFK Jr., probably.

Apparently they're getting 8 months worth of pay as a severance package, plus benefits for 8 months. This is an incredible offer. If I was working for the federal government I would take it in a heartbeat and leisurely look for a better job. It's rare for a company to give you more than 2 months worth of severance pay.

Trump offers federal workers eight months pay to resign

The buyout offer to those who do not want to return to the office is part of the president's plan to shrink the US government.

The Overton Window is shifting so rapidly in our direction it’s almost impossible to keep up at this point. All of our ideas, talking points, critiques, and subculture itself are being normalized and mainstreamed before our eyes. I thought we were another 5-10 years away from this. Glorious.

Sen Josh Hawley says Tulsi nomination "may be in jeopardy."

Watters: "Do your Republican colleagues understand what will happen if they vote down Tulsi?"

Hawley: "I don't know. And I have to tell you, I'm worried by what I hear from some of my Republican colleagues. I'm worried that her nomination may be in jeopardy."

Sounds like RINOs may be plotting to torpedo Tulsi.
...
Insiders have revealed that President Trump is prepared to go scorched-earth against any Republican Senators who vote against the confirmations of Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.

"If they try to touch Tulsi and Kennedy, then it’s war.” - Trump Advisor

"If Tulsi or Bobby face real trouble, that’s when Trump will really start to fight. They represent the challenging of the status quo of the bureaucracy. That’s what MAGA is about.” - Another Advisor

Edit.

Trump’s pick for Interior Secretary, Doug Burgum, is set for a final Senate floor vote tonight.

Also on the docket: Chris Wright for Energy Secretary and Doug Collins for Veterans Affairs Secretary.

All three nominees just need a simple majority to move forward.

If confirmed, Burgum will oversee public lands, national parks, and energy development—key areas in Trump’s agenda.
