Americans are #1 at shooting other people, themselves, and both in succession.

Icelanders are #1 in cinema attendance.

On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, officially creating the National Park Service to protect and preserve America’s natural wonders and historic treasures “for the enjoyment of this and future generations.”

Mildred Point trail, Rainer National Park. #hike #nationalpark #publiclandsinpublichands

Mildred Point is a rather steep, 7-mile trek, with multiple waterfalls, including the spectacular Comet, and, in high summer, vast wildflower meadows, culminating with an in-your-face old Tahoma ecounter.

The F4 is one of the best Marvel flicks, which is very welcome, and it's all positive vibes and great aspirations, which are a very, very welcome set of sentiments today.

A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans:

If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?

Obama may have been the only American president who understood how to deal with Israel. Most others have been congenialy dragged around from one crisis to the next.

First time I've seen a tax cut so poorly designed that the dynamic score RAISES the cost by $356 billion.

The infinitesimal growth revenues are dwarfed by the rising inflation and $441 billion in interest costs from higher interest rates.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

No social media platform matters. We're putting stuff here until the next thing comes along.
