Trump's goons are on a tear in Washington DC:
Senior #USAID security officials put on leave after refusing Musk’s #DOGE access to agency systems
DOGE has zero legal authority. It's a figment of Trump's imagination. But here, we are.

Looks like #Trump threw US Army pilot & crew under the bus with his anti-DEI diatribe.
Trump suggests US Army pilot Captain Rebecca Lobech from Durham, NC maybe a DEI hire.
Here comes the ambulance chasers. Lawsuits will fly and the Government has a fat wallet.

The US Army Blackhawk that collided with a passenger plane on Wednesday was on a training flight at the time of the incident, Joint Task Force-National Capitol Region media chief Heather Chairez tells CNN.
“We can confirm that the aircraft involved in tonight’s incident was an Army UH-60 helicopter from Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, out of Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir during a training flight. We are working with local officials and will provide additional information once it becomes available.”

These west winds are so strange and make things uncomfortable, even at the dock.
We used to rarely, and only for short periods have west winds. Now sustained west winds are more common. They will be hitting us on the beam due to slip alignment all day tomorrow during the gale warning ⚠️😳
Throw on some extra lines and batten down the hatches!

Somehow if feels appropriate to share both of these together:
1) Wolf Moon setting over Washington DC
2) Completed crocheted Santa mankini (finished last night)
Happy #humpday to the #fediverse #WolfMoon #dmv
It's 23°F in SW DC right now and feels like 12°F with an 11mph frigid wind out of the west.
Here's my question: how do crows not freeze in conditions like this? 😳
How Many Cars Have Connecticut Towing Companies Sold? The DMV Can’t Tell Us.
—
When reporters set out to quantify the impact of a Connecticut law that allows companies to sell some cars they’ve towed after just 15 days, the DMV said records would cost $47,000; it has revised the estimate but hasn't given us the records.

UPDATE: The Connecticut DMV and top state lawmakers have vowed to review towing laws after a CT Mirror and ProPublica investigation found that people’s cars can be sold just 15 days after they’re towed.
Connecticut allows towing companies to sell some people’s cars after just 15 days — one of the shortest windows in the country.
The sales have particularly affected low-income people, who have lost jobs after they were unable to get their cars back.
