In a historic Jewish cemetery over 170 tombstones were knocked over and damaged. The vandalism was reported outside of St.Louis at a cemetery called Chesed Shel Emeth in University City, on a day that the White House denounced a spate of recent bomb threats against Jewish Community Center across the country. It upset many people for their families have all been buried there. The St. Louis Jewish community had received similar threats last month to the recent threats that appeared this Monday. From the start of the year through Monday over 69 bomb threats have been made to 54 Jewish centers in the United State and Canada. Trump addressed the issue on Tuesday saying "The anti-semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root our hate and prejudice and evil." On Wednesday Vice President Mike Pence did visit the cemetery outside of St.Louis and conducted the most beautiful words that earned him a laudatory statement from the Anne Frank Center, "There is no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice or violence or antisemitism. You just make us all proud." However many muslims did help raise over $60,000 to repair many of Jewish tombstones.

Recently Trump's administration revered one of Obamas-era protections that allowed transgender students in public schools to use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity has made many civil rights group angry.

Rogue" Federal Twitter Accounts Multiply 11-2

I am not a big fan of twitter but it seems that these unanimous, fact telling "federal agencies" do. Recently there has been some confusion on these twitter accounts claiming to be run by members of the National Park Service and other U.S. agencies. None of the account owners have come forward and identified themselves but they do still tweet about different facts of climate change, completely opposing the Trump administration. But this has happened before, people have been making silly twitter pages acting out as different characters and celebrities for years. Whats different about the number of fake accounts-about 80- are a result of a form of expression to oppose a media blackout and its all from Trump's administration's gag orders. Many of these accounts are encouraging their followers to "take action by calling their congressional representatives and providing scripts for what to tell their lawmakers." Nothing chaotic has happened yet so as of now most of the accounts are giving of simple facts and silly jokes.

Revenge of the bureaucrats 11-1

With a country of 2.1 million federal employees and Trump's plan to cut the size of the government workforce, is not going so well. Trump is expected to sign an executive order that freezes federal hiring while his team is finding ways to shrink several agencies which focuses on domestic policy. Many employees do have the power to leak information to the press and media and can use bureaucracy to slow down policy proposals. As Trump tried to cut the size of government he did promise not to touch the two-thirds of federal workforce that work for defense and security agencies. Since there are about 85% of the workers living outside of Washington D.C. it could upset people all over the country.Many of the workers are worried about "being asked too dismantle rules and regulations they've labored over years." As more committees push for a legislative package that would make it easier to fire federal workers, people are debating on whether or not they should quit. But right now it is so difficult to find civil service jobs that not many people have even tried.
