Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

YOU CANNOT DEPORT A CITIZEN. You can expel them! You can exile them! You can kidnap them and put them in an extrajudicial prison, but you aren't "deporting them."
"Deport" is a word we've used for years to mean "send to one's country of origin."

Ducks visit Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope being assembled at Goddard Space Flight Center. RST will find and image planets around other stars, do a 3D map of the universe at least halfway to the Big Bang and more. It is scheduled to fly in 2027, and is on budget and schedule.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing.
Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases.
No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

In the absence of adequate staff, the lion's share of the administrative burden of helping the elderly navigate SSA will fall on adult daughters, DILs, and female friends.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...
Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support
Changes could break the system, former officials say.
