Turns out good government actually plays a role in our lives.
As snow spreads across more of the U.S. and meteorological winter begins, the National Weather Service remains hampered by a staffing shortage, despite a Trump administration pledge to restore hundreds of positions cut by Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service.
Winter is coming. Not all weather offices are ready.
Vacancies remain in National Weather Service offices across the country, including in some of the coldest, snowiest parts of the country.

The majority of Americans DO NOT WANT THIS. #ICE
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
