14.03.2025 โ‡ข Day Senate Surrendered While DOGE Machinery Ground Forward
โŒจSenate Democrats divided over Schumer's decision to support the GOP funding bill, averting a government shutdown but igniting what outlets described as a "Democratic civil war." The bill passed by evening with bipartisan support despite progressive fury, with some calling for Schumer's resignation.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration's bureaucratic restructuring continued unabated. The U.S. Postal Service partnered with DOGE to eliminate 10,000 jobs, the Department of Education faced legal challenges from 20 Democratic attorneys general over staff cuts, and federal judges ordered reinstatement of thousands of probationary employees fired by Trump.

Putin responded cautiously to Trump's ceasefire proposal for Ukraine while making extensive demands, appearing to stall negotiations while continuing battlefield advances. Trump told reporters they had a "very good and productive" call.

The Justice Department became a stage for Trump's victory lap over dismissed prosecutions, where he promised a "legendary" reckoning against his perceived enemies.
