People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.
It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

Sen Lisa Murkowski could switch parties. She could oppose every nominee. She could use her status in the majority party to hold Donald Trump accountable. Instead, during his first term, she voted with Trump 73% of the time. This term, she’s voted for 20 of Trump’s cabinet nominees.

This NOAA person ensures hatchery fish are produced correctly. She’s gone, but the laws are still there—ESA, treaties, etc. Nobody knows if you can release the fish w/o a NOAA OK. Or if you do, what you can do w/ them. Decisions gotta be made now, 'cause hatcheries need to release fish on time. 7/14
