The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

NEW: I am hearing from multiple sources that Lt General Telita Crosland, Director of the Defense Health Agency, has been pushed out in an on-going purge. Official internal agency news said "retired" but I'm told relieved of duty or at least forced into retirement. www.defense.gov/About/Biogra...

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

Investors are now warning Tesla stock could lose 50% or more of its value this year as it continues to tumble. Musk is still the wealthiest man in the world but he lost 7 billion today, about 2% of his fortune.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

Truly incredible how Americans can go to the polls, choose a bunch of incompetent jerks to run the country, then immediately recognize "welp everything's gonna suck now." I dunno, maybe don't choose the incompetent jerks next time? Just sayin.

When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army. Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.

The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

Male coaches and male athletic trainers have been far more harmful to female athletes than transgender athletes. If you want to talk about the dangers to women in sports, talk about that.
