For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

The house parliamentarian can supposedly remove any parts that 'make policy changes' and are not specifically budgetary. Can someone please explain how that would actually work?
-A 10-year ban on state AI regulations
-A "nonprofit killer" clause that would stifle dissent
-Selling off public lands to Big Oil
It's not just healthcare/food assistance cuts for the poor and tax breaks for the rich in the GOP's "big, beautiful bill."
It's much worse.

The GOP’s “big beautiful bill” includes a clause giving Donald Trump the ability to revoke the tax-exempt status of any group the Treasury Department says is a terrorism supporter.
The bill is in the reconciliation process, meaning it only requires a simple majority in the House and Senate to pass.

There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database.
That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

The plan is to break the parks, claim they must be privatized, take them from the American people and give them to their friends.
Update: the Trump administration has proposed cutting the National Park System by $900 million, about one third of its budget.
Please read/share if you love your national parks!
New from @pamherd.bsky.social & me: A DOGEr is now running the National Park Service.
They were already short of employees to manage record crowds. DOGE has cut 13% and wants to cut 30%.
