NEW: As New Mexico gears up for another wildfire season, a 22,000-square-foot building housing a wildfire dispatch center is among lease terminations announced by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

The center handles communications during a wildfire, a 'critical' part of wildfire response.

Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia
The defense secretary’s instructions, which were given before President Trump’s blowup with the Ukrainian president, are apparently part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war.

I grew up on “I’m just a bill, and I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill”, that segment aired at the end of Saturday morning cartoons & helped us understand how Capitol Hill worked.

“Trump Normalization” is among the worst journalism these days IMHO.

Up next: “Might that Nigerian Prince not just be actual royalty, but also a savvy investment move?”
Headline that reads “Trump shocks the system. Will he solve problems voters care about most?”

Friend’s dad was dying of ALS. Wheelchair just parked in front of the TV, Fox on all day. Love to spend my last days on earth getting redassed about kids having to piss in a litter box at school because they identify as cats. I've lost my Mom to Fox News and Facebook as well. She was never interested in politics until Trump. Then her entire world view warped. I mean maybe he gave her permission to express her true feelings but she's lost all empathy. Everything is a conspiracy. It's exhausting. I knew I was in trouble when I lost my dad to the same thing. He was always right of center, we didn't agree on the finer points of governance, but in general it was civil. I texted him on Jan 6, assuming he was disgusted as well. He told me antifa was attacking the capital. My dad isn't some rube. He's an engineer with high level security clearance in the nuclear field. He's always been a "moderate." Now I'm pretty sure he'd turn me in for reeducation. I've known these people all my life, and now know nothing about them. It's wild.

Sen. Cassidy asks, should Americans on Traditional Medicare move to Medicare Advantage? 😮

RFK Jr: “That’s their choice—right now.”

Forgive us if that doesn’t sound reassuring, especially with conservatives pushing to make privatized Medicare the “default option” for seniors.
