Morning Wonketariat! Here's some of the things we may be talking about today, but first, A BABY GOAT!

Trump's 2018 budget will be released later today; it's calling for "an aggressive set of spending reforms" across multiple federal agencies, yet showers the DOD with hundreds of billions of dollars. Priorities, people!

With the White House drowning in scandal, it's decided to distract everyone by declaring it Infrastructure Week (again), announcing $200 billion in budget reallocations and an additional 1.3 trillion in unaccountable spending.

The Department of Transportation's head train safety guy has been quit-fired after reports surfaced that he was also working as a PR guru in Mississippi, not because there's been four collisions this year.

Trump's White House was in damage control yesterday, sending out talking heads to deny that John Kelly was being "You're Fired" for defending alleged wife beater Rob Porter. Nobody liked Porter anyway, it's all fake news!

The Trump tax cuts (for the super rich) have spurred big businesses to dish out bonuses, but nobody is actually raising wages.

EPA Director Scott Pruitt is still costing taxpayers shitloads of money for his secretive jet-setting lifestyle. What could be better than a climate change skeptic burning thousands of gallons of jet fuel?

A report that details how intelligence agencies routinely shit on whistleblowers was killed by a watchdog before it could expose how the CIA and NSA regularly get revenge on snitches.

The US was trying to get back some of the data stolen by a group of hackers, but when the contact started offering Trump kompromat, like the pee hooker tape, the agents suspected a Russian ruse, and a general fear of pissing off Trump and Mike Pompeo.

ICE arrests of noncriminal undocumented immigrants are up by 40 percent under Donald Trump as agents are now taking "the shackles off" Uncle Sam and placing them on immigrants whose only crime was trying to start a new life.

Pennsylvania Republicans redrew their gerrymandered congressional map largely along presidential voting lines, making it just as gerrymandered as the last map.

Progressives are pissing off Democratic incumbents for having the gall to take their advice and run for public office.
