Trump withholds data

The White House says that it was unlikely the federal jobs report or the Consumer Price Index reports that were due to be released in October would be published after the government shutdown ends.

They’re just looking for an excuse to not release data that could make them look bad. The Trump administration has already stopped releasing some other data reports prior to the shutdown.

Trump’s poll numbers are declining

He is still imposing his unpopular policies on all of us. The worst president ever and the worst American public figure since the Civil War.

The Justice Department wouldn’t be understaffed if Trump followed the law

How about all of the people that Trump fired?

The remaining ones have to spend their time prosecuting pointless lawsuits and defending Trump’s lawless behavior.

NEW: Senior official says government shutdown is having 'quite a bit' of impact on Justice Department. 'There’s so many people who are out….We don’t have the resources or the help to get it done,' ADAG @KetanBhirud told a Federalist Society confab.www.politico.com/newsletters/…

They would have to file fewer appeals and have much less work if1) Trump followed the law 2) Trump accepted court orders

Trump won’t treat the Nigerians like the South Africans because they are Black

Trump is a racist. He constantly proves it.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com“If Trump cares about Christians or anyone else in Nigeria, all he needs to do is restore aid and let babies live,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

— The New York Times (@nytimes.com) 2025-11-09T01:20:03.409251Z

If Trump really cared about the Nigerians, he would treat them like the White South Africans he would welcome here.

Does Trump have to adhere to the deal?

I doubt it. He’ll do whatever he wants to.

3 GOOD: some real approps working right for the first time in EONS, built based on need & politics, not from toplines. SHALL language on backpay 4 feds. Good anti-RIF language we’d want to see continued2 BAD: Nothing forces Trump to actually FOLLOW the approps. A vote we could have forced already

So nothing would stop Trump from doing rescissions again? What happens if Trump opposes a vote on the ACA?Is the Republican proposed abortion ban in there?
