Trump Plans To Nullify New Federal Union Contracts

union contracts President Donald Trump said late Friday that he plans to nullify federal employee union contracts that agencies agreed to late in former President Joe Biden’s term.

In a memo to agency heads, Trump said that Biden officials had negotiated new collective bargaining agreements meant “to harm my Administration,” in part by undermining his return-to-office mandate, and that he intended to scrap them and bargain his own.

He referred specifically to a contract ratified with the Education Department days before he took office.

“Such last-minute, lame-duck CBAs, which purport to bind a new President to his predecessor’s policies, run counter to America’s system of democratic self-government,” he claimed.

Trump Fires The Director Of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Rohit ChopraPresident Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover.

Chopra was one of the more important regulators from the previous Democratic administration who was still on the job since Trump took office on Jan. 20. Chopra’s tenure saw the removal of medical debt from credit reports and limits on overdrafts penalties, all based on the premise that the financial system could be fairer and more competitive in ways that helped consumers. But many in the financial industry viewed his actions as regulatory overreach.

In a social media post Saturday about his departure, Chopra thanked people across the country who “shared their ideas and experiences” with the government’s consumer financial watchdog agency.

Ken Martin Is Elected Democratic National Committee Chair

Ken MartinMembers of the Democratic National Committee elected Ken Martin as the central party body’s new chair on Saturday, picking a seasoned party operative to help lead the party back to power in Washington.

Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, defeated two other major contenders – Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley — and a host of more marginal candidates.

He received 246 votes to Wikler’s 144 and O’Malley’s 44.

The outcome was not a surprise: Martin was the frontrunner from the moment he jumped into the race.

In a press conference after the vote was certified, Martin said his message to President Donald Trump was: “We’re coming.”

USAid officials put on leave

Just after 6 p.m. EST on Monday, the Trump administration placed a number of senior career officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) on leave for allegedly not abiding by President Trump's executive order to freeze much of U.S. foreign aid.

NPR obtained a copy of a message sent to all USAID staff by acting administrator Jason Gray: "We have identified several actions within USAID that appear to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive Order and the mandate from the American people. As a result, we have placed a number of USAID employees on administrative leave with full pay and benefits until further notice while we complete our analysis of these actions."

Federal workers ordered to remove pronouns from sgnatures

Several federal government websites went dark while others were edited to remove mentions of gender on Friday evening as agencies scrambled to meet a deadline to scrub their websites, emails and contracts of “gender ideology”.

The office of personnel management also directed agencies to disband employee resource groups, terminate grants and contracts related to the issue and replace the term “gender” with “sex” on government forms.

By Friday evening, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Census Bureau websites went dark. Navigating to the websites turned up blank pages that said: “The page you’re looking for was not found.” Other agencies took down or altered specific websites. The Bureau of Prisons renamed a website titled “inmate gender” to “inmate sex” and no longer included a list of trans inmates.

TVNL Comment: The insanity and obsessive bigoty is here;  Enjoy the ride into madness.
