As a U.S. Army veteran and a Native, I find this incredibly disrespectful. I feel disrespected. Pentagon removed webpage on Native American who raised flag at Iwo Jima.

No one ever said they were creative.

The False Prophet of Government Efficiency Elon Musk has been anointed as the architect of federal government reform, a position that would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous.

"While Trump retains the ceremonial position of Head of State, signing executive orders with flourish and basking in symbolic pageantry, Musk has effectively become Head of Government, wielding unprecedented control over federal agencies." -@johnron.bsky.social

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more. Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

🚨HUGE DEFEAT FOR TRUMP

BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered Donald Trump to IMMEDIATELY reinstate thousands of probationary employees he fired last month.

This ruling hits multiple agencies-Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense- places where actual work gets done. Thank you judge Alsop! 💙

Holy shit. In a shocking unearthed video, Marco Rubio completely destroys Donald Trump for being a full of shit bully.

Marco was hoping people would forget this…so don’t repost right now this very second!

GOP’s war on education is a strategy, not a side effect. By banning books, defunding,attacking teachers, they aren’t protecting ‘parental rights’—they’re fostering ignorance to maintain power. An informed electorate threatens their agenda, so they wage culture wars instead of investing in education.

👋 Hey Kids!!! Get ready to either laugh uproariously or sob inconsolably, cuz it's time for either the SUNDAY FUNNIES or the TRUTHFUL TRAGEDIES, depending on your own personal point-of-view.
#Enjoy 🤣 (or) #Despair 😩

As we go into another week of this dystopian nightmare, please remember that…….

While this is true, I also acknowledge that enough Americans wanted this that I would suggest our neighbors don't trust any of us.

Again: maternal illness during pregnancy should NOT be considered a factor in autism causation. A Danish study looked at one million+ children, and found that other factors, like genetics, "could explain nearly all of the connections suggested in past work."

I am coming to the end of my COVID immunity I got from my second infection, but done taking chances with everything else I can catch.

People in the Midwest have a bad habit of being really abusive to mask wearers, and not shy to get right up in your face about it.

Can't wait to get bullied for wearing masks again.

Bernie is on FIRE!🔥

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

This is not an issue at art school - this is only an issue for people who have no idea how to teach art.

Art Center requires a number of master copies and art projects usually entail gathering a great deal of reference to present your ideas.

This is a myth to stop people from being creative

Facts

Curious and perhaps misinformed opinion here - because I don't know if it's a scientific fact - but I had always been told that Dalmatians are prone to deafness.

If so, it would make sense that the myth had legs, so to speak. Hehe

That picture is awesome

Hope it doesn't stop there

Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf for fear of not being reimbursed. 7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to me. 8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has been allegedly implemented to preserve such access. 9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security systems.

The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO. “People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
