Sounds like these red state governors should get their own houses in order before sending their National Guard troops to DC.
Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.

Good news for Wisco!
BREAKING: Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' authority to enforce reporting and clean up for harmful contaminants like PFAS. This is a huge victory for the people of Wisconsin and our fight against PFAS.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

California lawmakers introduced a No Secret Police bill to ban masks for law enforcement at all levels, including ICE, making it a misdemeanor offense. Other states need to follow suit immediately.

Hey @nytimes.com, fixed your headline! Former & current federal workers deserve to be considered for a wide array of jobs thanks to our broad skill sets & high levels of experience. Let’s keep things positive! Let’s help dedicated civilian servants find work. #WeArePatriots too!

This monstrosity is falling out under Byrd, 100%
The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees.

I am not making this up.

This is far worse than the contempt of court language in the House bill. It SHOULD come out in the Byrd bath, but Republicans could choose to ignore the parliamentarian. Very scary attack on checks and balances by the Senate GOP.

Everyday, women in this country are fighting uphill against a system that underpays them, overworks them, and overcharges them for the basics.

All Republicans claim to care about is why women aren’t having more babies until it comes time to vote for the policies that support new moms…

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

There is no justification for the aggressive behavior displayed today toward Senator Padilla. This is a U.S. Senator. In a federal building. In his own state, doing his job.

If they can handle a Senator like this, they can do this to anybody. It is an authoritarian response.

Forest defense is national defense.

USFS scientists defend our forests.

Tell Congress what you know:

USFS R&D “provides foundational knowledge needed to […] prevent, suppress, mitigate, and eradicate the approximately 500 non-native insects and pathogens that are killing America’s trees.”

Example of foundational science USFS researchers do to stop trees & forests from dying out.

Ash wood is commonly used to make baseball bats and tool handles.

Besides that, Ash trees contribute to healthy forests.

This is just one forest pest of 500+ USFS researchers actively study.
Good news! Some ash trees are genetically resistant to Emerald Ash Borer and Forest Service researchers are growing and breeding them to make the seedlings even more resistant!

#Trump couldn’t be bothered to deploy the National Guard on January 6th when his supporters brutally assaulted cops who begged for help.

No one in #California has asked for the Guard today - not law enforcement, not local officials - no one.

This is an anti-Constitutional overstep of power.

📚 For the librarians and archivists among us, other Research & Development activities at risk include #TreeSearch, a cache of 63,175+ Forest Service publications, including otherwise paywalled articles, and the Research Data Archive.

Both keep USFS science accessible, transparent, & reproducible.

Since the wildland firefighting militia has been gutted by Musk/DOGE’s incentives to leave the government, the USFS plans on *bringing people who took the DRP back to fight fire this summer.*

This should be a HUGE story. Absolute fucking clown shit from the big-brained boys at DOGE. 🤡💩
