Elon Musk is actively taking over various government agencies and installing his own sycophants into them. 18 year old kids are now in charge of the 6 trillion dollars that the government spends annually and were appointed to that position directly from their internships at SpaceX or Tesla. But at least they were camp counselor the year before!
Medical and scientific research is being scrubbed for any mentions of gender (and probably sexuality as well) and COVID while the CDC has been gagged and told they can’t report data on ANY active diseases - including the current bird flu that may or may not be turning into another pandemic.
The tariffs are going to cripple the economy on basically all fronts. I heard somebody claim that US auto makers have said that they’ll have to stop production after a week because nobody can afford to make cars with those prices.
Trump released thousands of gallons, if not hundreds of thousands, of water from a lake reservoir in California, flooding farmers’ fields and almost flooding over levies “because it will help with the fires in LA” despite them being hundreds of miles away, which will hurt the farmers this summer as they won’t be able to use that water to keep their crops alive, which will further add to food supply issues and hurt California’s economy - which will hurt the rest of the nation by extension because their economy is one of the largest contributors to tax revenue in the country.
That was just the stuff off the top of my head from over the weekend. As you say, the week yet young; there’s plenty of time for new horrors to be born.
And just like the horrors of last week, these too will be supplanted by next week’s horrors and forgotten, because there’s just too fucking much going on to keep track
I had actually hoped this wouldn’t be as bad as we feared after seeing their rank incompetence still on display, but it turns out it’s even worse than that

The list goes on and on.
Ok so I actually knew all of those aside from the water thing. For a second I thought he’d done something even more outrageous.
Well, the week has just begun anyway.
