DOGE is inflating its savings claims. DOGE counts fully paid contracts as “savings.”
Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service says it has saved $55 billion by cutting jobs, canceling contracts, and renegotiating leases. But a closer look suggests that number is misleading.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

Just made my 3 calls to my representatives. Today the topic was the attempt to destroy the Consumer Financial Protection Board.
Have you made your calls? They need to hear from you. What's your topic today?

COVID, that's what's up. It's still out there. Mask-up and keep your immune system strong.
It's not a bad case and already feeling better. Glad I got my vaccine last month, Novavax at Costco.

Went to a laundry mat yesterday. Don't know why, but I like laundry mats. Have not had to use them much in my life but I like a decent clean laundry mat.
