NEW: A “survey of our niche audience for our niche audience” was the source for the claim that only 6% of federal employees are working full time in their offices. The number isn’t true. Why do administration and elected officials keep relying on it?

Agencies and workers throughout the federal government are scrambling to handle Elon Musk’s directive for federal workers to respond to an email asking what they did over the past week—or else be fired—with multiple federal agencies telling employees not to respond to the email.
A large crowd at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6 2021, with smoke and chaos evident. Flags are visible among the insurrectionists, and law enforcement officers are present on the steps. The atmosphere is tense and tumultuous.
I still can't believe that Trump pardoned everyone involved in this.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills took no crap from Trump in a fiery interaction: “See you in court.” Then, the DOE hit Maine with a Title IX probe. Mills: “This isn’t just about sports—it’s about a president forcing his will.” This and more in today’s bulletin ⬇️
“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.”
Beyond parody.
Map of the United States displaying hydrogen ion wet deposition levels from measurements taken in 1985 by the Central Analytical Laboratory. The map uses a color gradient from green (low deposition) to red (high deposition) to show varying levels of H+ deposition (kg/ha). The highest deposition levels are concentrated in the northeastern U.S., while the western U.S. has the lowest levels. Black dots indicate measurement locations. The map is sourced from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network
Map showing hydrogen ion wet deposition measurements across the United States and parts of Canada, indicating values in kg/ha for 2022. The color gradient represents different concentration levels, with a scale on the right. Sites not pictured are listed at the bottom. The map is mostly green, indicating that H+ deposition is no longer a environment issue that it once was.
Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants.

Let's say their names:

All replaced by less qualified white guys.
Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show.
Firing QUALIFIED military leaders!
Playing with our national security!
This isn’t a game.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.
