Trump Friday Night Massacre at CDC. BREAKING NEWS: CDC employees terminated in apparent Friday night massacre.
Then Trump went golfing on the weekend during the government shutdown. He could be serious about negotiating an end to it, but he isn't. He had the leaders of the House and Senate meet with him. He had two red hats on his desk that said 'Trump 2028'. After the meeting, he mocked the two Democrats who met with him.
Putin's war on Ukraine has been going for about 3 years and 8 months. There was a brief, 30-hour, flimsy truce during Trump's second term at Easter time, if it can even be called a truce. Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,325 image:

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...e-next-phase-of-its-economic-warfare-00602692 excerpt: "China’s Ministry of Commerce on Thursday unveiled its most expansive rare earth export controls to date, allowing Beijing not only to restrict shipments of raw materials and magnets — as it has in the past — but also any devices that incorporate those elements. Because Chinese rare earths are embedded in everything from iPhones and electric vehicle motors to fighter-jet sensors, the rules effectively give Beijing potential veto power over vast swaths of global manufacturing. The vast potential reach of China’s action, and the U.S.'s counteraction, was on display Friday: Trump’s tariff announcement sent stocks tumbling, with the S&P 500 dropping more than 2 percent, its worst day since April."
Now that Trump has started trade wars with China and other countries, what's to stop them from pursuing their own wars against Trump, beyond that of simply retaliating to try to protect themselves. It's not like Trump can be the only one who initiates trade wars.
Trump is ‘obsessed’ with seeming pro-worker – but his actions suggest otherwise excerpt: But Gbenga Ajilore, chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said the administration’s assault on federal workers had knock-on effects. “The federal workforce serves American workers, low- and moderate-income families,” he said. “You think about the Veterans Administration, Social Security Administration. I used to work for Department of Agriculture, and we had a missionary project focused on rural communities and rural development. That workforce is getting decimated, which is going to impact those things.”
Trump is ‘obsessed’ with seeming pro-worker – but his actions suggest otherwise excerpt: “Look at the range of tariffed goods: fertilizer, steel, aluminum, pharmaceuticals, heavy trucks, lumber, furniture,” he said. “It’s almost like, you name it, there’s a tariff on it. That raises cost for consumers. At the same time, tariffs on these goods are inputs towards businesses, which have to raise their costs. “He’s talking about bringing back manufacturing, but tens of thousands of jobs have gone from manufacturing in the past couple of months and a lot of it is because of increased costs from tariffs. When businesses make adjustments to maintain their margin, labor is always the first to go.”
The article didn't mention Trump's actions that have crippled worker unions. Trump hanging a huge image of his face on the Labor Department building doesn't mean he's pro-labor. But some of his followers will still think that it does.
Stephen Miller Accidentally Says “I” When Discussing Trump’s Powers Malcolm Ferguson Fri, October 10, 2025 at 7:52 PM UTC Stephen Miller Accidentally Says “I” When Discussing Trump’s Powers excerpt: “Miller says quiet part out loud,” one user wrote on X. “He determines where to put ICE, CBP & other federal agencies, but he is also doing the same for various National Guards. An unelected staffer making these decisions, where is the president? Both Miller and Vought are running this admin.”
Miller is becoming like Dick Cheney during the administration of Bush Jr. Cheney would rarely mention Bush during interviews. Cheney talked like he was the president and calling all the shots.

Ousted NSA head Gen. Tim Haugh on his firing by the Trump administration excerpt: Haugh was fired in April of this year after far-right activist Laura Loomer met with President Trump. Online she explained that Haugh was "disloyal" and had been "referred for firing." Evidence she pointed to, publicly, was Haugh's appointment by President Biden. She called Haugh's firing "a blessing for the American people." Haugh, in his first television interview since retirement, said he was "absolutely not" disloyal, and that he'd gotten up every day "committed to our national security and to meeting the expectations of the president."
