For the majority of their careers, these hard working civil servants have been apolitical serving Democrat and Republican presidents without any issues. Along comes this buffoon and on a weekly basis they are constantly thrown into situations where they are having to react to this administration's incompetence.

The impact to basic federal government management has been substantial. Perhaps the biggest is the move of the agriculture department from DC to a yet determined spot in Kansas. There’s a real concern that they will experience a serious brain drain from capable, mission focused scientists who won’t make the move.

This is a crazy situation. These people fled the state and republican militias have threatened the Oregon senate, all because they don’t want to pass a bill to reduce fossil fuel emmions by 2050. I’m

Lol nice use of conservative buzzwords. Immediately Let’s everyone know they are dealing with someone who is incapable of having a political convo without insulting someone. Heaven forbid the cost of

President Trump on Thursday retreated from his plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, effectively conceding defeat in a battle he had revived just last week and promised to continue despite recent legal defeats.

 

Instead Trump said he is ordering every federal agency to give the Commerce Department records on the numbers of citizens and noncitizens, including databases from the Homeland Security Department and the Social Security Administration.

So.....They are going to share the data they already accumulated. Supposedly, this was the approach that was recommended to Wilbur Ross, but to appease Trump, they went down in flames with this census question. 

 

Any competent data scientist would have recommended a data lake as a central repository to house the data dumps from the different agencies. But a data lake concept isn't red meat for his base.

President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum on Tuesday that would exclude undocumented immigrants from being counted in congressional districts when district lines are redrawn next year.

 

The memorandum marks the Trump administration's latest effort to change the way US populations are counted and advance the President's immigration agenda. And like previous efforts, the issue will end up in court. 

 

"I have accordingly determined that respect for the law and protection of the integrity of the democratic process warrant the exclusion of illegal aliens from the apportionment base, to the extent feasible and to the maximum extent of the President's discretion under the law," the order states.

 

The American Civil Liberties Union plans to challenge the memo, Dale Ho, director of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project, said in a statement.
