I have visited 12 U.S. tax-payer supported National Parks. In 2023 the U.S. National Park system generated $55.6 billion on a budget of $3.6 billion. Cutting staff from parks will make them less efficient & less profitable. Spread the word. #nationalparks #wildlifephotography #Olympic #elk #nature

The moronic and cruel VA cuts are stunning…
Trump is slashing staff, delaying benefits, and gutting vets’ healthcare—while pretending to “support the troops.” Fewer doctors, fewer services, more vets left struggling.
Patriotism isn’t just waving a flag—it’s taking care of those who served.

Student loan forgiveness is a Band-Aid that only helps one generation. What we need is structural reform that addresses the cause, which requires legislation.
If politicians don’t come at it from that angle, they’re just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.
The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians & other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful violation of a commitment.
