I volunteer at a tax aide site. I assisted an elderly native man with a question about an ID theft pin. No way could he navigate the IRS site so we called the help line. We got quick accurate and professional assistance. Under DOGE how long will that last? Good luck to that employee and thanks.

I bet that right up until their town hall started Rep McCormick(R) and Begich(R) thought the crowd was going to be throwing flowers and praising their existence.

I wish I could give Nick Begich’s ph # (I work summer tourism in AK) to everyone who spent thousands to visit AK so that he can explain the best way to see Denali(and it is Denali) is from the downtown parking garage because he had nothing to do with NPS budget cuts and the park is closed

People of Missouri can sleep easy tonight knowing that Josh Hawley will be there to protect their Medicaid funding.

If, as Sen Chuck said, Congress can’t do anything but complain (and they’re doing very little of that) I see a huge savings by eliminating Congress. Do they really think that once Trump is done with whatever he’s doing he’ll give the power back?

Trump terminated Agriculture employees working on bird flu issue and now trying to rehire them. Per Don Bacon (rNe) they should “measure twice cut once”. We’re doomed.

At some point (I hope) we’ll look back and realize this week at least wasn’t as bad as last week

I splurged on lunch today and had 3 eggs cause Trump did say during the campaign that on day 1 after the Super Bowl and KC won prices on food would go down…oops!

Rep Begich(R-AK) is taking a victory lap for getting two bills passed in the House as a newly minted member. Of course these are repackaged from AK former Rep Mary Peltola. Seems Mr Begich has already learned how to take credit for what a woman has done the work for.

So Trumps little “dick” swinging episode got him nothing that having a direct relationship/conversation with two other leaders would have got him. Since we no longer have friends and neighbors again we’ll see what it costs us.

Not being familiar with federal hiring practices does Trump have authority to offer this RIF and the costs associated with it? If he doesn’t and the employees take the “buy out” and it’s not funded are they screwed? Wouldn’t happen under normal circumstances but Abby Normal is far from that.

Wow. Getting fellow employees to rat each other out. Who’s the communists now?

Thank god I was more worried about renaming Denali than the price of eggs in Alaska. I just didn’t know it.

I wonder if the republicans advocating Elon for Speaker realize that would put him third in line of presidential succession. Or do they? Or are they just f…ing dumb.

Help me understand how a president elect can name an acting director (ICE) for a position that requires senate confirmation before he himself is inaugurated?

Do I like the Biden pardon? I understand it knowing what will happen to Hunter under trump. And at least it was done to protect son not to protect himself unlike Trump.

Trump lied about knowing anything about P2025? Shocking😱

I was listening to an NPR broadcast the other day. The lady was out of work and burning through her 401K. Scared, she put aside her personal views because she thought that trump would have to much on his plate to have time to deal with social issues. Well today Speaker “Petty” did bathroom gate.

Given the seriously bad weather in the southeast and now the northwest will the National Weather Service be able to provide information and warnings to all of us or only those that can afford a privatized service under the new administration?
