So MTG and Bobert should've been removed when they interrupted the speech back in the day?
Yes or no.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/trum...the-other.htmlTrump says the U.S. will take control of Greenland ‘one way or the other’
...
“We need Greenland for national security and even international security, and we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it,” Trump said
“But we need it really for international, for world security, and I think we’re going to get it. One way or the other, we’re going to get it,” he said.
“It’s a very small population, but a very, very large piece of land. And very, very important for military security,” the president concluded, before moving on to a separate topic.
The slightly menacing appeal to Greenlanders was unexpected. But it was hardly without precedent.
Trump has been fixated on the strategic importance of the glacier covered island for years, and he has repeatedly suggested that the United States should buy the autonomous territory.

Security from whom?
That SOTU address was full of incoherent rambling and lies. Des ute Don didn't even speak on Medicaid which a lot of maga depends on to stay alive. No talk about stuff that matters to the American people.

OPM backtracking on RIF guidance after losing in court
Trumplandia hasn't been winning many of the legal cases, yet
https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...deral-workers/The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on Tuesday updated its guidance to department heads that demanded the firing of federal workers, adding that it’s up to the agency on whether to boot their hires.
The slight shift in the memo updates a Day 1 order from the OPM directing all government agencies to pull together a list of employees still in their probationary period, meaning those who were either hired or promoted within the past year or two — a period that varies by agency.
“Please note that, by this memorandum, OPM is not directing agencies to take any specific performance-based actions regarding probationary employees. Agencies have ultimate decision-making authority over, and responsibility for, such personnel actions,” the OPM wrote in the Tuesday update.
The tweak comes after unions scored a court victory Thursday after suing over the Trump administration plans to fire probationary workers
“OPM’s revision of its Jan. 20 memo is a clear admission that it unlawfully directed federal agencies to carry out mass terminations of probationary employees – which aligns with Judge Alsup’s recent decision in our lawsuit challenging these illegal firings,” the American Federation of Government Employees said in a statement Tuesday.

Spectrum sales to Starlink
cha-ching
https://prospect.org/power/2025-03-0...lf-enrichment/For example, as Bloomberg has reported, Starlink could elbow its way into the $42.5 billion Biden-era program to build out broadband internet service in underserved areas. Starlink’s satellite service did not initially meet reliability standards for the program, nor did it commit to a low-cost option for low-income users. Starlink service starts at $120 a month, which is substantially more than the average broadband bill.
But the Trump administration could rewrite the rules to let Starlink participate more fully in the program, and compete with the more prominent wired fiber-optic service. Only three states—Louisiana, Delaware, and Nevada—have finalized their broadband funding. “Most of the other states can bid under different rules with this government and shift funding to Starlink,” said Alejandro Molina, a former National Economic Council official under President Biden.
The key agency running the broadband build-out is the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and Trump has nominated Arielle Roth, former policy director on telecommunications to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), now chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, to head the agency. Cruz has been critical of the Biden broadband program for delays in build-out, though these were entirely predictable given the bill that Congress passed, which required maps to be drawn and states to apply for funding. He has boosted “innovative and simpler wireless and satellite options” like Starlink. The SpaceX subsidiary has a factory in Cruz’s home state of Texas.
Winning that contract under new rules could perhaps be the biggest potential haul for Starlink. And on Tuesday night, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Commerce Department will explore ways to allow states to give Starlink contracts for broadband worth billions of dollars. But there’s another way in which Musk’s firm and other wireless companies can grab a lucrative piece of infrastructure that the government owns.
Wireless industry lobbyists and allies like Cruz are working to funnel lucrative bands of spectrum to companies like Starlink.

The ADP National Employment Report, a key indicator of the health of the U.S. economy, has revealed a lower than expected increase in non-farm, private employment for the month. The report is based on payroll data from approximately 400,000 U.S. business clients and is considered a reliable predictor of the government’s non-farm payroll report.
The actual number of jobs added was reported at 77,000. This figure, while indicating job growth, fell significantly short of the forecasted 141,000 jobs. The shortfall has raised concerns among economists and investors alike, as it suggests a slowdown in the pace of job creation in the private sector.
When compared to the previous month’s data, the current figures also show a decline. The previous month recorded a more robust addition of 186,000 jobs, marking a significant drop of 109,000 jobs in the current month’s report.

Trumplandia is ing us up
USD was a reserve currency not just because of dominant US trade position, but also because of it's stability (especially of policy), rule of law and independent monetary policy. Most of that is gone now, we'll see if FED will maintain independence or will it be pressured to do what Trump wants. I'm guessing most will shift more towards Euro, as China is not really interested in loosening their tight state control of monetary policy.
starting to look stagflationary
Why did Trump let these violent sex traffickers in the country in the first place?
