With so much bad, terrible news, here’s some good news. It may only be temporary or maybe they figured out that all Americans like our National Parks. As Ken Burns said, “America’s Best Idea!” www.latimes.com/california/s...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

The President of the United States of America is a pathological liar. He plans to steal money keeping Americans alive & healthy. He will trade for billionaire tax breaks. Call your Senators; demand they STOP this. It only takes one Senator. Remember how Tuberville held up the military approvals?

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

He always imparts important perspective. Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social for your service and for continuing to speak up after the Biden administration closed down. Would love to hear from more of your colleagues there. This is NOT government as usual.

Just watched a 2014 film: Kingsman: The Secret Service. Why did it remind me of what's going on in our USA federal govt. today? Here's the main plot: a WEALTHY MEGALOMANIAC plans to fix what he sees as a big problem (climate change) by wiping out most of humanity. There are better ways.

Ffs, America, wake up! When leaders from European countries call for a summit to deal with the comments of a president and his administrative officers, it has gone far beyond, trump is an idiot rhetoric. Macron calls for a summit of European leaders on Monday. www.politico.eu/article/macr...

You’d think that the agency’s name—“National Nuclear Security Administration”—might have led someone to at least ask, “Hey, what do these guys do?”

The facts about what Mollusk and his fake auditors (they are NOT auditors) are doing or not doing. People who only listen to bro-podcasts or faux news really think these antics are finding waste & abuse. Correct them! Tell them the truth.
