that you are checking on what permits were filed for the demolition of the East Wing. Was everything in there removed and archived ? Where are the things that were there now housed?

A year ago, I traveled to Damascus to meet with local leaders and learn how I could best help provide the resources needed to recover. While I know there’s still more work ahead, I'm amazed by SWVA’s resilience.

Chicago, last night. 18 people shot. 4 dead.

No breaking news banner. No national outcry. Just sirens in the distance, then silence. Blood washed off the sidewalk before sunrise.

We live in a country that eats its young and calls it freedom.

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.

In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Oligarchs are addicted to greed.

In 1982, there were just 13 US billionaires worth $14 billion.

Today, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, there are 903 US billionaires worth $6.8 trillion.

Enough is enough. We need an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.

Speaker Johnson says there's “a moral component” to Trump's "big, beautiful" bill. Really?
 
Is it “moral” to cut nutrition assistance for hungry kids?
 
Is it “moral” to eliminate health care for 13.7 million Americans so the 1% gets a $664 billion tax break?

I don’t think so.

Hiring meteorologists because you laid off too many of them… Guess they were pretty essential?

This chaos is dangerous.

The new hires would not make up for all the personnel lost in the Trump administration’s cutbacks, but could reduce the number of offices that need to cut back on 24/7 operations.

Yes, seriously. You’re expected to write an essay explaining your “loyalty” to Trump.

But here’s the truth: the oath federal workers take is to the Constitution, not to a president, not to a political party, and definitely not to a list of executive orders.

Loyalty tests have officially arrived in the federal hiring process. The Trump administration just unveiled a so-called “Merit Hiring Plan”, which includes a quiz asking job applicants to name their favorite Trump policy or executive order.

We know, it's a big goal.

If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.
