I work in that area and saw that. Not sure what the reason was, other than as a show of force.

One of us? This Gen Xer is not crazy like you people. I only drink iced coffee when it’s at least fifty degrees out

I’ll go with the 3rd just so I don’t have to let ICE agents or military members stay in my house

2006 was good as it was a blue wave year

True. I’m in the demographic that only uses Youtube for watching old sporting events, not for getting news/“vibes”

Going back to Fort Lee Nj?

They fail to mention that FEMA didn’t preposition resources like Urban Search & Rescue Teams, which would have allowed them to to do life saving work as soon as the disaster declaration was signed on Monday. Prior to 2025, this was done routinely

Richardson was in New Orleans today for the FEMA Review Council meeting

when bus fare was free in DC during COVID, the best part about it was that you could board by any door, not just the entrance by the fare box/driver. That made getting on/off the bus much easier, a big plus

We all know socialists like to play fast and loose with the First Amendment under the guise of “money isn’t speech”

FEMA doesn’t have block grants (a misused term).. Starlink does have contracts with FEMA funded out of the Disaster Relief Fund for satellite phone communications after disasters however

This is under Title 10, but not the Insurrection Act, so Posse Comitatus Act still applies (military forces can’t be used for law enforcement purposes)

Posse Comitatus Act applies if the Guard is put in Title 10, and they can’t be used for federal law enforcement unless POTUS invokes the Insurrection Act.

Correct, unless POTUS puts them in a title 10 status, the Gov has control of the California Guard.

The MAGA faithful celebrate the end of the Trump-Musk bromance Patrons of the pro-Trump Butterworth’s Restaurant hope that the feud that broke out Thursday between the two men marks the end of Musk’s influence in Washington.

I keep wanting to call this Bannon-World Capital Hill hangout “Mrs. Butterworth’s”

Red chowder is Manhattan clam chowder. NE clam chowder is always white and milk-based

Arbitrary & Capricious

The building is actually overcrowded, as they took away all our telework and flex work schedules

who’s going to issue Final Agency Decisions in EEO cases? Or decide appeals?

i hated that movie when it came out, and was annoyed everyone else seemed to love it. Pup Fiction was by far the best movie of 1994

hard pass

i used to use their cafeteria, when it was still open

it’s only acceptable if it’s offered to all federal employees on the same terms (unlikely)

I still have yet to see any authority cited for this offer,

Federal employees whose PII is accessed or disclosed w/o authorization could file a PrivacyAct complaint. That’s not ripe for legal action yet, until we have more facts. Other laws to consider: DOGE is basically a violation of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as it’s not authorized by Congress.

True, but with this Supreme Court, I wouldn’t rule anything out, sadly.

Red state legislators would never allow it

under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, they’re supposed to have a charter listing their membership, which is required to be “fair and balanced”. Also required to publish meetings in the Federal Register, and make them open to the public
