This is amazing

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

Russia won the cold war. They own a US President.

awwwww shit y'all, the flight attendants have entered the chat 🤘🤘🤘

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

I’ve avoided giving any thoughts about our current ownership and chairman and will continue to do so but for those of you new to the club you may be interested to learn more about own owners in the 90s. Alan Sugar features on the front cover of my book! Get your copy ⬇️ 90sspursbook.square.site

One final point. Trumpism is working because Congress fears Trump more than they fear the rest of us. Not talking violence here. Used to be they would fear being voted out. That seems broken.

And I know they have done a lot for the country, but where are the Clintons and Obama? Where's Biden? Al Gore?

If DOGE is looking for somewhere to save money might as well just fire Congress and the Supreme Court. Those people are just collecting a paycheck at this point, happy to give all their power to the President.

New York Times needs to put on their front page a running count of how many people President Musk has fired.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

This front page story in my local newspaper is written in the passive voice like the Social Security office just fell over or something, never mentions Doge once, never says the words musk or trump.

This is beautiful

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Not a coincidence that the thing on the right happened right after the thing on the left came out.

Trump announced that he plans to sign an executive order next week to end the promotion of paper straws as an alternative to plastic ones. So much for the sea turtles.

In a memo released Thursday, the Federal Highway Administration ordered states to halt a $5 billion program to build fast EV chargers on highways nationwide — an initiative that President Donald Trump cited as an example of the “Green New Deal.”
