This is my last day as a federal employee. I devoted 20+ years to NIH, am retiring because I am remote and given no option but to move back to MD; I only moved away from there 5 months ago. Sad to say that leaving under this admin feels good, instead of bittersweet as it should when one retires.

And now he wants TAXPAYER money to pay for his birthday parade??? $92 million dollars!?!?!?!?!

And the refs, once again, giving games to the Chiefs...Bills had that 1st down by 1/2 a football. One ref knew it; you could see him drift from 1 yard past the 40 to inside the 40. Until the NFL changes up the referees, they are always going to be giving games away.
