Trump’s War on Civil Servants, AI Hangover on Wall Street & Drone Wars Abroad – February 6, 2026 World News, Our Style
Trump moves to turn civil servants into political furniture, Democrats call the relationship “hostile,” Wall Street sobers up from its AI sugar high, and U.S.–Iran talks try to stop the drone‑age tinderbox from igniting. It’s February 6th at The Daily Schtick: World News, Our Style.
Trump moves to strip job protections, nukes stay off‑leash, markets wobble on AI hype, and the US flirts with war‑prevention talks while still exporting chaos.
Civil service: Schedule F, but make it dumber
The administration rolled out a new rule reviving its dream of firing chunks of the federal workforce by reclassifying them into a politicized “Schedule F”‑style category.
Translation: more loyalists, fewer career nerds who know what the law actually says, and a bureaucracy that behaves like a campaign office with pensions.
Democrats to DC: this relationship is toxic
Democrats describe dealings with Trump’s Washington as openly hostile, citing immigration crackdowns, voting‑rights pressure, and agency purges as daily proof the administration governs by punishment, not policy.
Hearings have basically turned into televised breakup counseling, with lawmakers documenting every red flag while still voting to fund the drama.
Markets: AI sugar high wearing off
Wall Street is still sliding after a tech‑led rout, as investors suddenly remember that “AI will fix it” is not a business model.
Indexes are down, volatility is up, and traders are trying to price the gap between sci‑fi marketing decks and actual earnings, while crypto sulks in the corner with the other risk assets.
War, but make it “responsible”
Abroad, the U.S. and Iran wrapped a new round of talks in Oman, calling it a “good start” and agreeing to keep negotiating to avoid a wider war, even as sanctions, proxy strikes, and drone action continue.
Ukraine, meanwhile, is still absorbing Russian strikes and drone attacks while scrambling to harden air defenses and keep the lights on.
Bloodshed with footnotes
A Russian drone hit a minibus in Ukraine’s Dnipro region, killing at least 15 mineworkers and injuring several others, another entry in a war that now updates like a cursed changelog.
In Nigeria, security forces report killing a senior Boko Haram commander and several fighters in Borno State, a “success” that arrives years and thousands of lives into the insurgency.
Today’s Schtick
So on February 6: Trump is trying to turn the civil service into a patronage machine, Democrats are stuck in a hostile work environment they technically fund, markets are sobering up from their AI binge, and the world staggers through drone strikes and “good start” peace talks.
World News, Our Style: the empire keeps juggling nukes, markets, and human beings—then calls it “stability.”
