This post is going to be long but it’s important. One of the least-discussed developments in the Trump administration is the creation of the National Design Studio (NDS). On the surface, it was presented as a project to modernize government websites and improve the user experience.

I don’t think I’m alone in saying it f*cking sucks to be paying taxes this year. And it sucks even more that corporations and billionaires *aren’t* paying them at all. Tax the rich. I’ve had it.

@traffic.wsdot.wa.gov all the signs for the 522 closures say that it starts at 10 PM tonight, and here we are at 9:10 pm, and we're already being re-routed trying to get home from Bothell going East to Echo Lake. We planned to beat the 10 PM deadline... what's the deal?

💯 there is so much extrapolation and over generalization. Can't pundits just say "this is what I think" without asserting it's what everyone else thinks? Particularly a data nerd. He's not citing anything here is he?

The Trump administration is blatantly violating the Hatch Act in order to deflect blame for their shutdown—-it’s part of a much bigger pattern.

To any tourism agencies out there, as an American who might be unwillingly kept from getting updated COVID vaccines, I 100% will visit your country and spend my tourist $ there for vaccines. Start a new "vaccine tourism" campaign.

🚨2 months ago, every National Weather Service Director of the last 34 years took the unprecedented step of signing a joint, open letter. “Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life.” The Houston office is 44% UNDERSTAFFED.
Headline of New York Times story from May 2nd.

It reads:

Former Weather Service Leaders Warn Staffing Cuts Could Lead to 'Loss of Life' 

The former agency directors say current employees will face an "impossible task" to maintain service just as hurricane season begins.
By Camille Baker
May 2, 2025
Five former National Weather Service directors have taken the unusual step of signing onto an open letter warning that cuts to the organization by the Trump administration may soon endanger lives.
"N.W.S. staff will have an impossible task to continue its current level of services," they write in the letter, dated Friday. "Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life."
Hundreds of Weather Service employees, or about 10 percent of the agency's total staff, have been terminated or accepted buyout offers since President Trump began his second term, according to the letter.

The Republican strategy seems to be to "decrease the surplus population" either by defunding healthcare or by imprisoning anyone they see fit. Clearly they all need a visit from three spirits.
