www.usnews.com

... The head of the U.S. Postal Service has told confidants that he is deeply discouraged by his job and wants to resign, according to four people familiar with his thinking, as the agency comes under scrutiny over financial losses and President Donald Trump's effort to tighten rules on mail-in voting.

Postmaster General David Steiner, who took office in July 2025 after the White House forced out his predecessor, has expressed frustration over a lack of help from the White House and Congress in addressing the mail service's long-running financial woes, the people said. ...


Dems were addressing climate change without starting a war.

Hardly ... CO2 release emissions from fossil fuels and industry reached a record high of 38.11 billion metric tons in 2025.

This is why the Dems suck its all about virtue signaling.

Just say you don't really believe in Climate Change otherwise you wouldn't have let Musk get in your was of solving it Democrat Elite style.

Idiot.

At least use some facts in your argument, all you have is ad hominem attacks... .good luck with that.

Musk did far far more damage to the climate by getting trump elected than he ever saved by selling electric cars.

As for the dems climate agenda, let's ask Gemini:

" briefly, how did democrats attempt to address climate change and how much C02 would the IRA bill have prevented? Explain it to me like I'm a moron."

GEMINI:
"Instead of banning bad stuff, Democrats chose to throw a bucket of cash at good stuff.

The core strategy was the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed in 2022. Rather than punishing companies for polluting (like a carbon tax), it hands out roughly $370 billion in tax credits, rebates, and grants to make clean energy ridiculously cheap.

How They Did It:

Carrot, Not Stick: They gave discounts on electric cars, solar panels, heat pumps, and wind farms so people and companies want to buy them.

Domestic Manufacturing: They built in bonuses if those clean tech parts are made inside the United States.

Methane Penalties: One of the few "sticks" in the bill"charging oil and gas companies a fee if they leak too much extra methane gas.

How Much CO2 It Stops:

Yearly Cut: Independent researchers (like Princeton's REPEAT Project) estimate the IRA prevents about 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases per year by 2030.

Big Picture Cut: That drops overall U.S. emissions to roughly 40% below 2005 levels by 2030"taking the country a long way toward its goal of cutting pollution in half. "

Wow and they were creating americans jobs too. Too bad the retarded party put an end to all of that.

Urgent motion filed to stop carving of Trump's name into US Institute of Peace building
www.politico.com

... Ousted board members of the U.S. Institute of Peace are asking a federal court to block the imminent carving of President Donald Trump's name on the headquarters of the nonpartisan institution he sought to dismantle shortly after taking office.

Members of the board who were removed by the administration filed an emergency motion Thursday in Washington in a dispute that has echoes of Trump's effort to place his name on the Kennedy Center.

The motion was filed as an emergency petition, alleging that a contractor has already been selected to carve Trump's name into the Constitution Avenue headquarters that the administration sought to shutter as part of the Elon Musk-led DOGE effort to shrink the government. ...
