Breaking economy totally Trump has called 4 #termination of #FederalReserve Chairman #JeromePowell in a dispute over #interestrates, cutting across the political independence of US #centralbank. The Federal Reserve's decision-making is supposed to be free [not any more] from #political interference so it can make calls it believes are right for country and the economy rather than in the interests of presidents or lawmakers. #economy #financialsystem #financialstability newsweek.com/trump-demands-ter

Newsweek · Trump Demands 'Termination' of Fed's Jerome PowellBy Shane Croucher

US terminates support for #Ukraine's #energy grid #restoration

The #termination was finalized prior to President Volodymyr #Zelensky's visit to Washington.

“It significantly undercuts this [USA’s] administration’s abilities to negotiate on the ceasefire, and it’d signal to Russia that we don’t care about Ukraine or our past investments,” a #USAID official told NBC News.

Goals for Phase 3 are listed in brief bullet points in the #DOGE document.

#RIF the Phase 1 offices in their entirety,” one bullet point reads, referring to offices dedicated to #DEI. That process is already underway: The [#RussVought of #Project2025] #OPM last month directed agencies to submit written plans for firing all DEI office workers & encouraged agencies to begin issuing #termination notices immediately.

The 3 resignations are a rebuke to the #Trump admin, which has removed or transferred multiple senior #DOJ ofcls & fired dozens of prosecutors since Trump took office, while attempting to install #loyalists in key #law enforcement posts.

Last week, on her first day leading the department, AG #PamBondi demanded “zealous advocacy” of Trump’s agenda from the DOJ’s 10k lawyers, threatening #termination if they declined to sign a brief or appear in court because of their personal beliefs.

Attys for the #unions said they planned to amend their complaint over the weekend to include 4 other #FederalAgencies: #Health & Human Services, the Dept of #Education & the #Consumer #Financial #Protection Bureau.

"Department of #Labor employees have been told to unquestionably give #DOGE operatives access to any system or information they request, or else face #termination," the lawsuit said, alleging that DOGE's pattern of conduct has been "replete with violations of #law."

Again on the #powerbook 170: i'm trying to understand how the heck should I set the #bluescsi #termination #jumpers. The website http://dehij.hiddej.nl/ is offline. I could find it on the #waybackmachine , but it doesn't load...
BTW, I found a schematic on https://github.com/dehij/powerbook-bluescsi . That's the v2 schematic, but it seems very similar to the v1.1a I've got (they changed only some footprints, I believe). I see I can, using the jumpers, set the #SCSI #SCSI_IO pin to 5v, to ground or to #TERM_PWR (that's another SCSI pin). I unerstand I should terminate the bus, as there's no other devices connected, but I really have no clue on how I should set those jumpers....

These people in the #LNP must have rocks in their head ... #termination of pregnancy is a fundamental part of #WomensRights & #WomensHealth and to even to have a conversation about reversing these rights in #Queensland is a betrayal.

Labor health minister #ShannonFentiman said:

Jann Stuckey doesn’t believe him, and she knows the LNP and David Crisafulli better than anyone. And so if she doesn’t believe him, then I don’t think anyone in Queensland can believe him.

So those Queenslanders that fought hard to get voluntary assisted dying as part of our health scheme, should be really worried today. And all of those women and girls who have fought hard for years to see legal and safe and affordable access to termination of pregnancy should be really scared today.
