Trans women [sic] take over US Capitol's restroom in protest

UPDATE: On the other hand, maybe not — no government workers (sic again) were there, probably.

Senate report shows only 6% of federal workers show up to work in person, and that's just the tip of the iceberg

A paltry 6% of the federal workforce 'report in-person on a full-time basis' while almost one-third of federal workers are remote on a full-time basis, in a sharp turn-around from the pre-pandemic era in which only 3% teleworked daily, a report from Sen. Joni Ernst's (R-Iowa) office found.

Ernst, who has long crusaded against the rise in remote federal work, is planning to reveal the fruits of her office's year-and-a-half inquiry to Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-heads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy during their visit to the Capitol Thursday.

'The nation's capital is a ghost town, with government buildings averaging an occupancy rate of 12[%],' Ernst wrote in the blistering report. 'If federal employees can't be found at their desks, exactly where are they?'

I recounted some of the problems he had on Tuesday during his remarks in Angola. He said, "Welcome to America," despite being in Africa, told a bizarre story about his family, and called the country of Angola a city.  Embarrassingly, he had to be led around and helped by the Angolan president. Perhaps worst of all, he promised a billion dollars to Africa to help with disasters, even as people are still suffering from the results of Hurricane Helene, and people are freezing, having to live in tents.

But there was an even more embarrassing moment that occurred on Wednesday, as Biden appeared to fall asleep in the middle of the Lobito Corridor Trans Africa Summit. 

Yikes. 

How did a once-sweet little girl from a good family in Riverside lose her mind so badly?
