Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts.

NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities.

I am in Cairo, where I have been visiting with health organizations, including WHO and other partners of USAID.

Trump and Musk say lifesaving assistance is not affected by the shutdown of USAID and support to WHO.

I can tell you that is 100% false. #SaveAID www.instagram.com/share/_ogGRd...

NEW: We spoke to the relatives of three immigrants transferred to Guantanamo, who said they’ve been left in the dark about their loved ones.

“To me it’s the desperation, the frustration that I know nothing of him. It’s a terrible anguish. I don’t sleep.”
Trump Is Unfairly Detaining Immigrants at Guantanamo as Terrorists, Families Say
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details about the crimes that landed them in detention.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?
On Fox Business this morning, Chevron Chair and CEO Mike Wirth discusses all of the records that the company has broken last year.

"Record" production, record distributions to shareholders, etc...

Yet they're laying off 15%-20% of their workforce.

Vile.

With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

Make no mistake — these essential, lifesaving activities are being halted right now. Clinics are shuttering. Workers sent home. Partners including US small businesses face being unable to meet payroll. All despite clear requirements from Congress to do this work.

This makes my blood boil in ways I cannot describe.
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.
