  1. Again, same happened in Hungary…. The US is rolling down a dark, dark path, moving from democracy to putin/orban style fascism…

  2. The first thing to know is that it’s not “federal” property. It’s PUBLIC property.

    Newsweek seriously needs to stop it.

    There’s no mystery. Musk will bank Trump to buy huge amounts of it, and lease it back to the government.

    >GSA’s Public Buildings Service (PBS) Commissioner Michael Peters informed the agency’s employees that a recent analysis revealed “a gross excess of space” in PBS’ portfolio “as well as substantial levels of deferred maintenance.”

    >The election victory of Trump, a Republican, boosted stocks in banks and other companies on Wednesday as investors bet on lower corporate taxes and deregulation when he returns to office. Keller-Sutter, who next year will also assume Switzerland’s rotating presidency, is overseeing efforts to tighten banking regulations in the country following the 2023 collapse and subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse by its long-time rival UBS.

    >Asked whether Trump’s victory meant Europe needed to be more lenient on the banking sector to enable it to remain competitive, the minister declined to be drawn, noting it was too early to say and that she was observing developments.
