Another delayed resignation program will be the biggest mass resignation in history because 200K federal employees have taken it and why not, they get paid to do nothing for 8 months all on taxpayers!
“The total resignation program is set to cost $14.8bn, with 200,000 workers paid their full salary and benefits while on administrative leave for up to eight months, according to a Senate Democrats’ report in July. Trump officials argue this outlay is worth it.” https://apple.news/AwgSrJmdhQhasf_GApX8dJA MAGA sucks! But I guess wasting taxpayer dollars is what they voted for. Nevermind the administration has been secretly rehiring workers who sat home the last 6 months. |

Forcing workers out and then having to rehire them because you needed them after all is astoundingly moronic and wasteful.
And they apparently STILL haven't learned their lesson, with idiot Vought threatening to fire 97% of the federal workforce if there is a government shutdown. Again, quietly it turned out they DO ACTUALLY NEED most of those workers, idiots! What do you MAGA idiots have to say for yourselves? |

Paid people nearly $15 billion to sit at home for months. Now rehiring loads of them. DOGE is costing taxpayers money. No wonder you’ve barely heard republicans say a word about doge in recent months. It’s an embarrassment. |

How much is being spent to bring in major military officers from around the globe to quantico. Not just the cost for them and their staff to travel back at a moments notice. But also the preparations and staff hours for them to leave their posts?
This will be an epic “this meeting could have been an email” waste of time and resources. |

Why is US giving Argentina a $20 billion bailout?
Argentina is a political and economic mess. Their economy is about the size of Michigan's. They're now selling their soybeans to China since China no longer is buying from US farmers. “I don’t think there’s too much doubt that President Trump himself personally has instructed Secretary Bessent and the Treasury Department to come to Argentina’s aid and support President Milei because President Trump wants to support President Milei,” said Douglas Rediker, chairman of International Capital Strategies, which advises institutional investors." Make Argentina Great Again! Argentina First! https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/09/28/argentina-us-bailout-package/ |

This entire administration is incompetent. Photojournalist got a picture of a panicked message from Ag Secretary Rollins to Treasury Secretary Bessent about the sellout of American farmers to bail out Argentina. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/cameraman-captures-scott-bessent-texts-181901383.html |

Tammy Duckworth has formally asked for an accounting. (Probably will never get it, but she is on the right committee to ask.) |

Hegseth summoned the top brass from their posts all around the world so he can make a video.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/hegseth-self-centered-reason-calling-221749640.html A White House official separately told CNN that the meeting is meant to be a show of force, demonstrating what the military looks like under Trump. The defense secretary’s team plans to record his speech and then release it publicly. It will also reportedly be amplified by the White House. |

Taxpayers giving a $625 million lifeline to the dying coal industry. 100 mines expected to close during trump’s term but he’s already forced one unprofitable mine to stay open (passing on higher costs to consumers). Now giving a $625 million bailout to the industry.
In the meantime, china is leading the world in renewable energy sources. Wake up maga. You hate green energy but this is the future. Not coal. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/climate/trump-coal-revival.html |

“Why would USA help bail out Argentina while they take American soybean producers’ biggest market???” wrote Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley. “We should use leverage at every turn to help hurting farm economy. Family farmers should be top of mind in negotiations by representatives of USA.” Trump is set to meet with Milei in mid-October to finalize the details of the proposed financial aid package, Reuters reports https://www.newsweek.com/trumps-argentina-bailout-sparks-fury-among-farmers-republicans-10809559 |

Trump wants to give $10 billion to farmers hurt by the tariffs we are all paying. This is probably just a down payment since he gave them almost 3x that in his first admin.
