I’m not sure this is going to work out the way the Trump team thinks it will.
On paper, this cuts the wages farmers pay to seasonal farm workers. However, the combo of ICE raids on farms and greatly reduced wages may mean workers stay away. Georgia farmers are heavily dependent on seasonal agricultural workers, and the farms doing this right are bringing these workers here legally.
It is starting to increasingly feel like the US is entering the Twillight Zone.
If not having an East Wing is a security concern, then maybe it shouldn’t have been torn down before replacement plans were made.

DJT merging with TAE, a company that was part owned by Russia in 2013 (per Forbes and other sources). No idea on current status of Russian ownership.

I expect that their chance of getting regulatory approvals just went up.
Also
Trump Media chairman Devin Nunes and TAE CEO Dr. Michl Binderbauer will serve as co-CEOs of the combined company,
So Devin Nunes becomes the co-CEO of a fusion power start-up. I didn’t have that on my bingo card.
Let us raise a glass of vodka in celebration!
That brain power ratio is even more lopsided than the mass ratio of the pB11 reaction TAE has built upon.
Matt Yglesias wrote a pro oil industry opinion piece for the NYT. Sean Casten, IL congressman, went on an excellent rant on Bluesky dismantling Yglesias’ points.
