  1. DOGE going at it with firing over a thousand employees from various DOE offices, including the NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION President Donald Trump's administration has laid off between 1,200 and 2,000 employees at the Department of Energy (DOE), including staff from the nuclear security administration and the loans office, two sources familiar with the decision told Reuters. Democratic lawmakers confirmed to the outlet that the layoffs also impact workers at national laboratories, hydroelectric plants and Cold War-era nuclear sites. The DOE employs approximately 14,000 federal workers and oversees 95,000 contractors across various energy and security sectors. According to two sources, the layoffs followed the arrival of three representatives from billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the agency. One source revealed that approximately 325 employees have been dismissed from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which oversees the U.S. nuclear weapons fleet and works to secure radiological materials worldwide.

  8. Hooray, our nextdoor neighbor state is no longer promoting vaccination! https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/louisiana-end-mass-vaccine-promotion-states-top-health-118807539 NEW ORLEANS -- The Louisiana Department of Health “will no longer promote mass vaccination” according to a Thursday memo written by the state's top health official and obtained by The Associated Press. A department spokesperson confirmed Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham had ordered his staff to stop engaging in media campaigns and community health fairs to encourage vaccinations, even as the state has experienced a surge in influenza. Abraham's announcement occurred the same day vaccine skepticRobert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in by the U.S. Senate to serve as President Donald Trump's health secretary. In a separate letter posted on the department's website, Louisiana's surgeon general decried “blanket government mandates” for vaccines and criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID-19 vaccination push. Individuals should make their own decisions about vaccinations, Abraham said.
  9. Brazen lawlessness. But hey like our republican friends loves to tell us, if there's no charges, there's no crime! Simple as.
  10. *They're And holy shit you're one dense mother fucker
  11. He also has a history of trying to get Zelensky to lie on his behalf to better his domestic political situation. Granted, that is moot because Trump is effectively a monarch now
  12. Unfortunately, the Kremlin has gained an extremely strong ally that will refill her coffers and unleash new death on Ukraine. Its us.
  13. I mean, they MIGHT actually be civil servants and give a shit about their mission, not just getting paid. Because in some cases it DOES fucking matter, ya know?
  14. Your vendetta against energy sources is always puzzling. If it's from a burned hydrocarbon or a solar panel, a watt is a watt. But then again you don't get your passive income from the sun shining or the wind blowing, so I can see why you find it distasteful. It funny how mad y'all get and then spin off into ad-hominem attacks when confronted with bad management. Keep up the good work, O&G finance bros. You've got the best years of your lives ahead of you, I'm sure.
  15. Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that.
  16. hah crazy timing, I just posted in the Prosperity Guardian thread about this, since the Truman has been a centerpiece of that effort
  17. The CVN Harry S Truman collided with a bulk carrier at anchor near the Suez Canal, coming back from R&R
  18. after record profits and $75,000,000,000 in stock buybacks, they just don't have any money left for staff. It would be bad business to not fire people!
  19. I would imagine that while Dorsey has custody of the DMs as the operator of Twitter, he wasn't going in and breaking the glass to snoop on accounts. It's bad for business, or at least it is if you're not an apparatus of the State
  20. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/02/measles-outbreak-doubles-in-one-of-texas-least-vaccinated-counties/ An outbreak of measles in one of Texas' least vaccinated counties continues to rapidly expand, with officials reporting 24 cases Tuesday, up from just nine confirmed on Friday. According to an update by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), all 24 cases identified in the two-week-old outbreak are in unvaccinated people. Nine of the patients (37.5 percent) required hospitalization. Most of the cases are in children. DSHS provided an age breakdown that listed six cases as being in infants and young children between the ages of 0 and 4. This is the age group most vulnerable to measles because they have a heightened risk of complications from the disease and may be too young to be fully vaccinated with the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Children are recommended to get two doses of the MMR vaccine, one between 12 and 15 months and the second between 4 and 6 years. One dose of MMR vaccine is estimated to be 93 percent effective against measles, while two doses are 97 percent effective. Of the remainder of the 24 cases, 16 were between the ages of 5 and 17, and two were 18 or older.
