The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office. (Published March)

SCOOP: Trump officials are pressuring the National Park Service to find a way to give a small piece of Yosemite to a private developer. The land would be used for a road, to give the developer rare private access to the heart of the park.

Dolly Parton could've hoarded a fortune like every other billionaire. Instead, she gave it back, funding hospitals, paying for her employees' college, and giving kids the power of reading while politicians failed to fund their schools. Imagine what we could build if power like that actually cared. 💛

15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home. She then committed an act familiar to all inveterate play-doh enthusiasts; rolling and and pinching the squishy clay into tiny round balls.

The "Fee D.C." movement is born. (I'll see myself out now.) But for real, DoorDash can't be happy that Rep. James Comer publicly unveiled that the platform supported the Republican bill to restrict D.C.'s ability to increase taxes or fees. It's a PR challenge, to say the least.

It's time for your scheduled open-heart surgery. Unfortunately, no one has seen or heard from the surgeon in weeks, since the Incident. The nurse says that she spoke with him at length on a wide variety of important subjects and that he had never been more eloquent. "Will he be along shortly?" you ask.
"I hired him to perform a specific job, and I would like him to do that." The nurse is appalled by this disrespect for the doctors privacy. You lie there for several weeks, your chest flaps held open by clamps.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

100% intended, they want DC to suffer, they want it to feel hostile to everyone who lives there or goes there. The Republican ideal is for cities to be places where everyone is afraid of getting kidnapped or shot by roving gangs of masked bandits working in cahoots with the police.
