Cutting NPS and NFWS and probably BLM...

In today's email... FROM THE VA ACTING SECRETARY We are taking steps to close all agency diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility...Trump’s executive order "Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions".

Great - I'd almost forgotten the sense of dread almost every morning, waking up to see what kind of stupid or dangerous thing the Orange Menace had done overnight. And here we are again.

So Felon Muskie is now saying they can't find $2T in cuts, so its down to $1T and falling. Basically they can either cut DOD's budget by 25% (try getting that through Congress) or else eliminate every other department in the Federal government. Sure...FAFO.

A free press SHOULD make those in power think harder about decisions that affect us all, for fear they will be called out and rejected.

It was not long ago I learned Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" was all about mourning and emotional pain, without singing a single word. It somehow seems even more appropriate now.

Funny how the minions of the Orange Menace face fines and imprisonment for following his ideas, somehow hoping they will gain favor with Dear Leader. Yet he never faces punishment for the misery he unleashed. Make it make sense.

The book burners are never the good guys.

Blindly follow, or think for yourself? It's a choice.

Seems more appropriate now than it did a century ago.
