The Trump administration has laid off the entire staff of a $4.1 billion program that helps millions of low-income households pay for heat during the winter, unnerving state officials who are now wondering whether they will still receive millions of dollars in expected federal payments.

This is terrible in so many ways, but lots of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people will die because of the callous whims of the world’s richest man. It’s the most grotesque juxtaposition imaginable.

In earlier eras there were plans for mass protests if the administration crossed a line--for example when the bombing of Iraq began 22 years ago this month. We need something like that for the threatened invasions, though I have to admit this admin crosses 99 lines a day.

The stable genius, who has been playing the stock market like a fiddle, is imposing a tariff of 25 percent on all cars not made in the US. This would increase the price of such a car by $3000 to $12,000 or so. Of course other countries will immediately respond in kind. Child sandbox mentality.

The US Department of Agriculture has halted $500 million in deliveries to food banks nationwide, multiple food banks told CNN. The Biden administration had announced the additional funding last year. Trump's plan for poor people is he wants them to starve to death. #EconSky t.ly/f6tzD

The same oligarchs who claim they hate government handouts are almost entirely reliant on government handouts themselves. Some would say it is hypocritical. But remember that hypocrisy is merely an expression of power.

Britain and Germany issuing travel warnings to the US is the kind of thing Americans might not be aware of, but it’s poison to tourism and international economic activity. The perception of the US as dangerous due to gun violence is widespread; now the government is chaining up British tourists.
