In case anyone forgot…

The POTUS is a sexual predator & Republicans in Congress are covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring.

It ain’t gonna go away!

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Probably a good moment to point out that US Homeland Terrorism Prevention is being led by an unqualified 22 year old kid who's one year out of college.

Trump Voter Gets Choked Up After ICE Detains a Third of His Staff A Florida roofing boss backed the president’s tough immigration policies. Then six of his workers were taken away...

Vincent Scardina, who runs a small Florida roofing business, supported Trump’s tough stance on immigration β€” until ICE detained six of his workers and sent them to jail for deportation.

β€œIt’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends β€” not just an employer but a friend.”

TRUMP NOW SAYING DEPORTING GOOD FARM AND HOTEL WORKERS IS A BAD IDEA πŸ€”

Suddenly he now realizes this… and ties himself into a pretzel to justify it. (Why just farms and hotels? Spoiler: donors called)

At minimum, they should have badge numbers and a toll-free number that can be called to verify that they're really with ICE, and that can be used to track indivuals who commit crimes while wearing an ICE badge.

A man impersonating ICE in Philadelphia tied up and robbed a woman at a business in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia.

It happened Sunday at an auto repair shop on the 6400 block of Harbison Avenue.

This is what we feared.

LAPD Chief McDonnell on Trump’s deployment of Marines: LAPD received no formal notification. There’s no coordination, their deployment causes logistical & operational challenges to LAPD’s mission to safeguard the city. For decades, LAPD has managed large scale demonstrations

Opinion | America Can Still Build Homes β€” for Professional Sports Teams

People who say that the United States can’t build anything anymore must not be sports fans. Barely a year goes by without the debut of a sparkling new stadium or arena, often in the very cities where it’s most difficult to build almost anything else.

Cuts, staffing shortages at National Weather Service make KC area officials nervous Here’s why budget and staffing cuts at the National Weather Service are raising concerns among Kansas City area emergency managers.

In an unusual step earlier this month, five former directors of the National Weather Service #NWS signed an open letter warning that the Trump administration's cuts to the #weather service and its parent agency #NOAA may endanger lives. #WX www.kansascity.com/news/weather...

calls found just two with a high probability of fraud just 0.0018%, not 40%. DOGE’s so-called anti-fraud measures, including a three-day hold on phone claims, did nothing but create chaos. Processing times jumped 25%, payments were delayed, and they uncovered virtually no fraud.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Having multiple "theys" buying supplies out-of-pocket does nothing to the decison-makers who got us to this point. It's not as if the SSA has anything to do with teacher pay or classroom supplies.

Trump says he killed DEI. So why isn't it dead yet? Cracks emerge in war on 'woke' From his first hours in office, President Donald Trump has been working to terminate DEI. But DEI is proving hard to kill. Here's why.

🧡 Trump: β€œI ended all of the lawless, so-called diversity, equity and inclusion bullshit"

"Costco and Cisco, have publicly defended DEI. Shareholders at American Express, Apple and Levi’s have overwhelmingly voted in favor of DEI."

350+ companies stick with DEI.

The Catholic religion is not a costume, and the Pope is not a fictitious action hero nor professional wrestling trope that is acceptable for attention-seeming AI cosplay. This behavior is beyond childish. Where is his apology?

Not terminated, but I voluntarily took the DRP 2 from a job that I loved, ahead of the RIF, thinking my position was at risk of being recatorgized and hoping that my vacancy would leave room for others with fewer years of service.

Too late. Nearly all Federal Agencies have lost their most experienced staff. The percentages vary by agency. I'm hearing numbers ranging from 15 to 40 percent. The myth that these workers didn't do much will become clearer when vital services stop.
