Update. "#Trump Executive Order Targets #IMLS for Closure"
wordsandmoney.com/trump-execut

"In a March 14 Executive Order, President Donald Trump has targeted seven more federal agencies for permanent closure, including the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

If some parts of IMLS are "statutorily required" and cannot be shut down by an executive order, the #OMB has seven days to show it.

"EveryLibrary is hosting a petition [to keep IMLS open]…The American Library Association has…weighed in with a statement."

This is what is expected to happen when you put a billionaire with a severe drug addiction problem in charge of monitoring the Federal Government spending of the world's largest economy

"“DOGE Has 10 Staffers at Social Security in Hunt for Dead People,” the headlines read this past week.

I found a dead person on Social Security. Right here in Seattle, on Capitol Hill.

Of course the circumstances of Ned Johnson’s death were completely the opposite of what Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency had claimed was rampant.

“You wake up one day and discover you’re dead,” Johnson told me. “It’s been truly surreal.”

That’s the biggest difference — my deceased guy turns out to be very much alive. Musk is contending that hordes of dead people are listed as alive in the Social Security databases, and are fraudulently still drawing benefits (which the Social Security director disputes).

Johnson is 82 and still kicking. Yet sometime last month, someone or something led Social Security to both tag him as dead and start clawing back his benefits.

Johnson’s strange trip through the netherworld began in February, when a letter from his bank arrived addressed to his wife, Pam."

"Ce qui frappe le lecteur c'est que #Meta et ses semblables sont l'exact équivalent des multinationales du pétrole, des minerais et du tabac de l'ère de l'analogique. Et ce sont toutes des entreprises US qui ont pactisé avec #Trump, ce qui signifie que leurs intérêts sont irrémédiablement liés à ceux de l'État US."

"Et donc toute tentative par nos gouvernements de réguler les #GAFAM sera considérée par Trump comme un acte de guerre économique."

"Il est temps de comprendre que la déférence de nos gouvernants envers les géants de la #Tech est un danger pour notre sécurité à tous."

#Trump is also decimating the #US #defense industry, as #EU countries are quickly developing technologies and equipment to fill the holes left by his desertion of our #NATO #OTAN allies.

(Example: Drones could be more important in modern warfare than bigger systems—and #Ukraine owns the absolute cutting edge of this technology.)

So what happens to Lockheed, Boeing, etc when their foreign customer base sees it can do without them?

Die #USA agieren unter #Trump wahnsinnig (Zölle etc) und gegen Beschäftigte! Darum habe ich mich zu #BoycottUSA und #buyeuropean entschlossen - regional und sozial, am besten von gewerkschaftlich gut organisierten Betrieben.

Empfehlenswert: goeuropean.org - tariflich zahlende Unternehmen = Arbeitgeberverband/Haustarif.

That judges in the US are now stopping some things Trump is trying to do temporarily, this not a reason for optimism, they alone can't stop him for sure, he can overwhelm or circumvent them in the end.
What is striking is the seemingly total lack of resistance in the executive branche. The lack of massive protests.
And in Belgrado 300.000 take to the streets to protest against corruption, Americans where are you... ?
