Trump's only loyalty is to himself

On the jewelry front, be aware that the ONLY thing that will matter when you sell it is the weight and purity of the gold - the gems are worthless. Historically, diamonds would matter under some circumstances, but this is no longer true even for most diamonds.

That would explain it.

Strange. The first sentence it shows me is:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is pausing federal grants and loans starting Tuesday as President Donald Trump’s administration begins an across-the-board ideological review of its spending, causing confusion and panic among organizations that rely on Washington for their financial lifeline.

~~Just read the article, and I don't see any mention of a judge acting on anything.~~

Edit: Confirmed this was a cacheing issue

There's already another plan for trans folk. They'll claim it's a mental illness and send them to RFK's "wellness camps" to replace some of the migrant workers they're deporting.

From TFA (emphasis mine):

The most aggressive approach, in a bill filed by state Sen. David Gregory, would award a $1,000 bounty for tips that result in the arrest of a person present in the United States without authorization. Gregory, a Republican from Chesterfield, wants to authorize bounty hunters, usually employed by bail bond businesses to catch absconders, to track down people identified in tips.

And if the tip proves accurate, the person arrested would be charged with “trespass by an illegal alien,” and subject to life in prison without parole if federal immigration authorities declined to take custody.

I expect cruelty from these people, but the harshest sentence that exists short of death‽ Solely for being undocumented, no other offense or aggravating factors. And held in conditions civilized countries wouldn't allow for mass murderers (state and local prisons are generally much worse than federal).

I just can't even ...

No argument here. It's illegal. But how could anyone be paying attention expect that to stop him?

I'm having trouble with the second half of this headline. Who honestly expected an orderly and extended withdrawal from this guy?
