I was going to make a joke about how @nwslsoccer.com needs to offer better vision insurance cause their refs can’t see but then I learned that center refs only make like $500 a game. No wonder they’re throwing games, I’d be trying to win some money on the side too

Yall, it’s been a really fun time at NGS 🫠
SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:

A tiny but crucial agency that maintains physical coordinates like latitude and longitude in the US is struggling as the Trump administration forces out federal employees.

When you’re a federal employee who will likely get fired eventually anyway, might as well wear the neon yellow kit to work for the kick off of the @nwslsoccer.com season, go @washingtonspirit.com! 💛💚

Please contact your representatives in Congress and push them to vote no on this budget resolution, or take out language classifying DC as a federal agency (it is not).
Congressional Republicans’ proposed stopgap budget resolution would “cut DC’s funding and impact Home Rule mid-way through the fiscal year… This means a nearly $945 million cut for the District, impacting teachers, firefighters, and law enforcement.”

GOP spending bill would lead to $1 billion in D.C. cuts, city officials say
The bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown would make D.C. revert to its 2024 spending. City officials fear cuts to police, schools and other services.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.
