... a republican ... just defended a portion of a woman's right to choose? in Wisconsin?!

Bold. I hate all of my former writing and would rather it burn in the bowels of hell before rehashing any of it publicly.

My transcontinental internet!!!!

It's a good start. We're gonna have to stay on our toes with our stacks, though. It can all be compromised.

choppy choppity chop chop time

I forgot about Thunderbird

Sounds less like DOGE pushed back and more like the community pushed back.

me: This sounds less like DOGE did anything and more like the community did

perplexity: You're correct in your observation. The reversal of the decision to close the nuclear waste site management office appears to be more a result of community and political pressure rather than a direct action by DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency).

According to the article, Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and other lawmakers insisted that the Carlsbad DOE office and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant remain operational[2]. Senator Heinrich stated that he had a conversation with Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who assured him that the office would stay open[2].

This reversal seems to be a response to the pushback from local representatives and concerns about national security and radioactive waste management. The Trump administration appears to have reconsidered its initial decision after facing opposition and realizing the importance of the facility[2].

The DOGE website had initially listed the Carlsbad office for closure, projecting annual savings of $810,599[2]. However, the administration's quick reversal suggests that the initial decision may have been made without fully considering the implications or consulting with relevant stakeholders.

This incident highlights the importance of local input and the role of elected officials in influencing federal decisions, especially when it comes to critical infrastructure like nuclear waste management facilities.

Fucked up. One can hope he returns one Ukrainian that makes it to RU and offs Putin in a poetic twist of fate.

No =( - Am in LA

So the gist of this is public opinion is based on the general stupidity of the population. And the population is stupid af. Yep. Not really news. And I am sure this is one the favorite facts that politicians and marketing agents use on a daily basis to grift.

In a time where the republicans are crying about people voting twice.

Mmm more voter suppression

Lose.
