DOGE abruptly cut a program for teens with disabilities. This student is 'devastated' The program, Charting My Path for Future Success, aimed to help teens with disabilities transition from high school to the real world. It abruptly ended when DOGE terminated its federal contract.

In case anyone is wondering what I’m talking about: www.npr.org/2025/04/14/n...

Pretty much. They shut down a program in PA that helped students with disabilities -transition- from school to careers.

Should I also be worried that there’s not enough cat hair in my house? (Hint, there’s more than enough of both people and fur)

I want to know who made the initials “EF”, it almost seems deliberate. Like, who exactly suggested it first?

That is a very good point - what is being done to support service members who make the choice to disobey an illegal order?

We somehow have 8 trillion for that but no money to combat infections diseases overseas. The infections are coming for us with a lot more certainty than Iran ever was. (Just in case you’re having a “why does it matter to me” moment” )

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

While some light snow is on the way tonight, models have been pushing the idea of another snowstorm somewhere in the region early next week. Idk about y'all, but I am fully done with this winter at this point. #NYwx

As you process the Epstein files, remember:

Palantir received early funding from Jeffrey Epstein.
It was also backed by the CIA’s venture arm, In-Q-Tel.
Then came the defense contracts.
Then mass data analytics at scale.

This isn’t separate stories.
It’s one ecosystem: the Epstein network.
