A Congolese govt spokesman did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Tommy Pigott, a State Dept spokesman, accused the Biden administration of moving hastily in bringing Afghan allies to the US. He said the Felon admin was working to find options 4 the remaining Afghans. 4/ Liar👇

“Family members of Amer. svc. members”? WT absolute F is this? Perhaps Marco Rubio, the Incredible Shrinking Secretary of State, should look into this unconscionable sellout of people who put more on the line for this country than he ever did— 3/

It’s somehow Biden’s fault that Felon is sending Afghan refugees to certain death. America’s word is worthless now because the Felon’s word is worthless & because he & his merry band of Millerite bigots have chosen to renege on other people’s promises. 👇 1/

Democrats should make the confirmation hearing on the nominee to be U.S. Attorney General all about the Epstein files. If you won’t commit to release the files without redactions and prosecute the Epstein class, then you’re obstructing justice, not enforcing it.

gaud help us we don't get booted or the Felon drops out. The EU is organizing a new form of NATO and we're not part of it. I expect that's why no other nation will work with this shit storm the Felon go us into with Iran.

Italy wasn't there for us, we aren't there for them' says The Fellon: ROME, Apr 17 - The Fellon had another dig at Italy Thurs for its refusal to help his war in Iran. "Italy wasn't there for us, we won't be there for them," he said on his BS media site, attaching to his mess a 3/31 Guardian peace

On Lier Social, Felon said he had been debriefed by VP JD Vance (his latest name), special envoy Steve Witkoff & Jared Kushner (who has no business being there) on the Islamabad talks, which were facilitated by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif & Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. 8/end

The move drew immediate skepticism from Democratic lawmakers. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, (D) on the Senate Intelligence Committee, questioned the logic of the threat. "I don't understand how blockading the strait is somehow going to push the Iranians into opening it," he said on CNN's Shoe. 7/

In a Sunday am. interview on Faux News, Felon escalated his rhetoric further. "I could take out Iran in one day," he said. "In one hour, I could have their entire energy, everything, every one of their electric generating plants." He added:

Tehran has consistently maintained that its nuck program is for civilian uses, not weapons development. Iran was a signatory to the 2015 nuck deal, which placed limits on its enrichment activities in exchange for sanctions relief, b4 the U.S. welched on the agreement under The Felon' 1st term. 5/👇

Felon said the talks — which he described as lasting close to 20 hours — reached agreement on most points but broke down on the single issue that mattered most: Iran's nuclear program. A source told Axios that another point of contention was control of the Strait of Hormuz. 3/

“Effective immediately, the USN, the Finest in the World, will begin BLOCKADING any Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," Felon wrote in a post on Truth Social. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints —20% of the world's oil & liquefied 2/

Transition continues w/ uncertain outcomes The U.S. is still adjusting to the end of penny prod, & cash-heavy sectors such as restaurants say the change is creating real checkout & compliance problems. Industry groups warn that rounding loss could be meaningful for low-margin businesses, 13/end

Other countries show smoother transitions Countries such as Canada, Australia, & New Zealand have already eliminated low-value coins & adopted national rounding practices for cash transactions. Their transitions were supported by clearer rules than the U.S. currently has. 12/

Industry calls for uniform rounding rules Restaurant & retail groups are actively pushing for federal legislation to standardize rounding practices across all cash transactions. The lack of a unified system has led to uneven financial outcomes & operational confusion for businesses nationwide 11/

Policy gaps create operational challenges There is no nationwide rule for handling transactions w/o pennies. Regulations vary across states, & some regions offer no guidance at all. 10/

Digital payments avoid rounding but add fees Card payments allow transactions to be processed to the exact cent, eliminating rounding entirely. This provides pricing accuracy for both businesses & customers. 9/

Small restaurants may feel the strain more Restaurants already operate on tight margins, so even small, repeated rounding losses can matter. That pressure can be especially hard on smaller operators that have less room to absorb added costs. 8/

Consumers may pay slightly more Rounding can increase costs for customers, especially when totals are adjusted upward to the nearest 5 cents. These increases are small but frequent. Across millions of transactions, the total additional cost to consumers is estimated at about $6M annually. 7/

Most pennies are not moving through daily commerce. But pennies have not disappeared from the economy. The Mint said in 09/25 that about 300 billion pennies remained in circulation, The Fed. said it would continue recirculating about 114 billion pennies in existence for as long as possible. 6/

Government saves $56M annually Ending penny production is expected to save about $56M annually in minting costs. The savings come from eliminating a coin that costs significantly more to produce than its value. The penny had become one of the least efficient parts of the U.S. currency system. 5/

No standard leads to inconsistent pricing Businesses are using different rounding approaches because the U.S. still has no binding national rounding law covering all cash transactions after the end of new penny production. 4/

Cash payments drive the financial impact Restaurants remain more exposed than many industries because more than 1 in 4 restaurant purchases are still paid in cash, according to the National Restaurant Association. When exact penny change is unavailable, 3/

Restaurants warn of major rounding costs The National Restaurant Association estimates that prolonged rounding down due to penny shortages could cost restaurants $156M to $168M a year, or roughly $13M to $14M a month. That figure is an industry estimate, not a government calculation. 2/

U.S. penny production enters a new phase The Felon directed the Treasury Dept in 03/25 to stop making new pennies, & the Mint struck its final circulating 1-cent coin in 09/25. That ended regular circulating penny production after 232 yrs., even though existing pennies remain legal tender. 1/
