There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:
The new revelations about DOGE's activities at the labor agency come from a whistleblower in the IT department of the NLRB, who disclosed his concerns to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in a detailed report that was then provided to NPR. Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone, according to a cover letter attached to his disclosure filed by his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid.

The thing I didn’t know I needed most in the world right now.

You don’t have to give up because people tell you too.

You have everything you need within yourself and the people who believe in you.

@quincemountain.bsky.social you are an amazing human. Thank you so much.

They fucking did it. They mushed to Nome.
A man in a white parka sits next to a gray and white husky with a white strike down her forehead. She nibbles something tasty off the ground while he looks over his shoulder. Above them is the burled arch that marks the Iditarod's finish line in Nome. They did it.

In honor of the three leading teams currently resting in White Mountain, I've added a few additional projects to donorschoose.org/igivearod25 from close to each of their kennels. I'll thread them here. #UglyDogs #MusherSky #Igivearod

What you may not have seen is their fundraiser for the Iditarod

Running this race is freaking expensive.

I know a lot of you will want to support them, but that would possibly take away money from the Igivearod causes, and we can't have that.

IT IS ME, LEAP!!!

I interrupt my Iditarod training to bring you VERY IMPORTANT NEWS!!!
Two sled dogs stand in harness on a snow trail, although "stand" isn't exactly the right word. The dog on the left, Leap, is smaller and blackish with a whitish snout and chest. She holds a rope in her teeth and pulls backward hard. The dog on the right, Colbert, is black and white and lunges upward with a look of wild enthusiasm on his face. He kind of looks like a bear, but hungrier.
