Never in my decade of filing FOIA requests have I gotten a response like this. Customs and Border Protection denies my request, saying "Due to law enforcement sensitivities we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records." No exemption cited, no name of who wrote this.

"We are caught between a party that wants to make government fail and a party that does not make government work" Perfect synopsis.

Insane to read a graph like this while remembering Elon's makes $8 million *a day* from government contracts which, of course, are not being cut.

Anyway, taking away a few more rolls of Charmin should do the trick.

The government has no business telling employees to “celebrate the resurrection.”

Gov. Rhoden should focus on governing for all South Dakotans, not pushing religious doctrine and making non-Christian employees feel like second-class citizens.
South Dakota's governor told state employees to take two days off to "celebrate the resurrection of our good Lord.”

It suggests that Christianity is now the official religion for the entire state.

While the U.S. grapples with an egg shortage caused by avian flu, eggs remain plentiful and affordable in Canada. There are reasons for that, including that egg farms there tend to be smaller.
This is why Canada has plenty of eggs — and the U.S. doesn't
