"Trump gets his Board of Peace, even as bigger countries steer clear. America’s traditional allies are taking a backseat on the effort ... Trump, who has three years remaining in his final term, has appointed himself the board’s lifelong chairman, giving himself the unilateral authority to veto decisions, approve the agenda, and select his own successor":

#Republican #House Speaker #MikeJohnson has refused to negotiate with #Democrats until they first agree to reopen the government.
This is now the second-longest #shutdown.
The longest shutdown occurred during Trump’s first term over his demands for funds to build the US-Mexico border wall. That one ended in 2019 after 35 days.

Democratic lawmakers are demanding that any deal to reopen the federal government address expiring #healthcare subsidies that have made #HealthInsurance more affordable for millions of Americans. They also want any government funding bill to reverse the #Medicaid cuts in #Trump’s big tax breaks & spending cuts bill passed this summer.

During a hearing on Oct 15, Illston said the layoff notices that started going out on or around Oct 10 appeared to be politically motivated and not well thought out. About 4,100 layoff notices have gone out, some sent to work email addresses that furloughed employees are not allowed to check. Some personnel were called back to work, without pay, to issue layoff notices.

The American Federation of Government Employees #AFGE & other #labor #unions have sued to stop the “reductions in force” #MassLayoffs, saying the firings were an #AbuseOfPower designed to punish #FederalWorkers & pressure #Congress.
Lawyers for the government claim the district court does not have the authority to hear personnel challenges [which is bullshit].

Illston has said she believes the evidence will ultimately show the #MassFirings were #illegal & in excess of authority.
The #Trump admin has slashed #jobs in #education, #health & other areas it says are favored by #Democrats. The admin has also said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through #SNAP flowing into November.

A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday indefinitely barred the #Trump administration from firing #FederalWorkers during the government #shutdown.
US District Judge Susan Illston granted a preliminary injunction [#PI] that bars the firings while a lawsuit challenging them plays out. She had previously issued a temporary restraining order [#TRO] against the job cuts that was set to expire Wednesday.

#Senate #Democratic leader #ChuckSchumer called the #WhiteHouse meeting a “pep rally” & said it’s “shameful” that #House Speaker #MikeJohnson has kept the House out of town during the shutdown. Schumer says his side wants to end the #shutdown & fix the #healthcare premium crisis that “looms over 20 million hardworking Americans.”

What clowns
As the government #shutdown enters its fourth week, #Senate #Republicans are headed to the #WhiteHouse on Tuesday — not for urgent talks on how to end it, but for a display of unity with #Trump as they refuse to negotiate on any #Democratic demands.

And that is only around 30% of the registered voters of which only 60% voted.
And I am not sure they voted for a mad king or a tin pot dictator.

And that is a good thing. It is time to show the teeth of a democracy and fight back. The tin pot dictator in charge is losing it. Simply not normal.
He should back off or take a flying leap.#uspol #trump #newsom #pritzker #impeachment #powergrab #fascism
