Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance
As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

Yesterday: Sec Rubio claimed the US isn’t “withdrawing from the world”. Also yesterday: China pledges $500m to WHO, helping to cover the budget gap from US withdrawal. As the US cedes diplomatic goodwill built over decades of humanitarian work abroad, other countries will quickly fill the void.

Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

This is a tragic update on the eagle nest at our training center. After 22 years, the bald eagle’s nest at the National Conservation Training Center is gone. A windstorm blew the nest from its sycamore tree home. Sadly, none of the 3 eaglets survived the 90 ft. fall. They were 4 weeks old.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Back to watching CNBC. "This is not a misprint: Dow futures with an implied drop of -4.5%." Each anchor has the vibe of a guy waking up from a years-long bender on the side of the highway with no phone and an empty bank account. Continues to be better TV than almost any show.

This is the end, the last gasp of 50 years of Reaganism as its people struggle to find faster ways to squeeze more wealth out of our work, disease, and even our retirement benefits so they can have the one thing they need more than oxygen, more money. What comes next is up to us.
