Waiting to find out if spouse still has a job. He is on a list, along with thousands of his coworkers. Will all of them be fired? Can anyone stop it, if they try?

I'm a pessimist and I thought Trump would be awful, and this is as bad, if not worse, than what I anticipated. Boggles the mind. This is a soft coup.

We're drinking dark and stormies tonight. Spouse is playing cyberpunk 2077.

Chances are we're looking at a govt shutdown in march to starve out as many federal workers as possible. So if we get past this, we have that to look forward to.

Happy 2025.
