This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Our thoughts are with the people of Kentucky as they recover from this tragic flooding.

Even as we recover from the LA fires, California stands ready to assist in any way we can and are proud to send skilled personnel and resources to help in this critical time.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

Some great news out of Montana that you probably haven’t heard about!

The Montana state Senate killed a bill that would’ve required the 10 Commandments to be displayed in schools!

The bill failed by only 24 to 26 and eight Republicans were part of that 26

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on.

How does this help working people?

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.

If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.

Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk going after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.

Instead of lowering prices on "day one" as Trump said, he's raising costs on families by letting Wall Street cheat them.

I'd like to propose that the entire wealth of one member of the top 1%, as determined by a national poll, be confiscated every year and distributed to ease the strain on Social Security.

This will weed out the most annoying and least respected rich guys.
