Exactly. Where is their “Transparency”?
If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

Putin was counting on Trump. He was Russia’s only hope. And Trump is now delivering for Putin.
If the US had continued to support Ukraine, we may have been months away from the end of the war. The Russians would not have been able to continue to fight for much longer. They were making almost no progress, taking huge casualties.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

Waves collide with the jagged stone,
A dance where sea and rock have grown.

By nature’s force, a fleeting mist.
Golden cliffs in sunlight gleam,
Whispers of an ocean dream.
The tide retreats, but not for long.
It sings its endless, roaring song.
