The war on our federal government through DOGE isn’t making it more efficient—it’s just inflicting pain on thousands of talented workers and making America less secure and competitive.

Remind me what that thing is called when prices go up

Decided to periodically post some of my favorite mountain pics as a break from the chaos.
This is Cronin Peak, 13,872’. There has been quite a bit of snow since this was taken, but it was mostly patchy the day that we climbed it. I love the warm glow of the snow capped peaks in the early morning.
