Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.

Summary

Trump evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her military housing with just three hours’ notice, despite an earlier 60-day waiver.

Fagan, the first woman to lead a military branch, was dismissed on Trump’s second day in office over concerns about DEI policies and border security.

Homeland Security officials cited her termination as justification, though sources called it a “petty” move.

Fagan was forced to leave most belongings behind, spending the night with friends while awaiting relocation of her personal items.

    People tip plumbers? The fuck do you mean? It’s a skilled trade, you’re already paying for that shit like twice over when they invoice you… Or do you use some bizarre corporate plumber who pays their workers minimum wage or some shit??

      Oddly hostile reply, but ok. It’s not required at all, but yes I have tipped plumbers and so have people I’ve known. I have had a plumber come out to take a look and tell me in like 5 minutes what was needed. He didn’t charge me anything, even though I agreed to a nominal site visit charge, because the quote was astronomical and I wasn’t going to go through with the project and he was only there a few minutes. I definitely tipped him and have used him twice since. He’s very nice and knowledgeable and tbh it feels like he way undercharges for his work. Maybe it’s just my personal experience. Not everyone should or has to or anything.
