Biggest Trump flag in my neighborhood came down this week.

Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

Saturday Costco feel good report:
The store was packed. The carts were full. People were joking and polite to one another. The line for new memberships was so long it went all the way to the $1.50 hot dog counters!
People are voting with their wallets.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
