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.

    I am.

    But the plumber already charges for the service call + hourly rate + parts + after-hours/holiday emergency surcharge… what is the tip for? Was I supposed to have been tipping my mechanic too all these years?

          The only thing I can imagine is like some corporate plumbing company that pays their workers hourly? Otherwise, they invoice you and they take most (if not all) of that money.

      Tipping culture in the US is out of hand, but in my experience most home service people are tipped. The main exception being people there for multiday renovations/work or people not doing manual labor.
