"Under Clinton, the government offered mass buyouts. But there’s a key difference with what’s happening under President Donald Trump: a bipartisan Congress overwhelmingly approved Clinton’s programme following months of review." aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/7/… – at Huntington, VA

The 2025 annual pay raise for federal employees only ended up being $40 more in my paycheck. It was countered by the increased cost of health insurance. That definitely does not feel like a pay raise. – at Virginia, USA

@RepDonBeyer @MarkWarner A $40 increase hardly seems worth the trouble of a pay raise for dedicated civil servants. I even went to a cheaper health insurance option. If I would have kept the same health insurance my pay would have decreased with this pay raise. – at Groveton, VA

If you believe you have information related to the recovery efforts in the Potomac or Anacostia Rivers or on the shore, immediately call 911. Do not touch or remove the item(s). Following this guidance is critical to supporting the impacted families & investigation.

This is why going slow and having a radar and digital navigation system is so important at night. This vessel struck an unlit channel marker in the Potomac River after the 4th of July fireworks. – at Mount Vernon, VA

#CivilAirPatrol assisted with the search for a missing #USMC helicopter today. Our radar forensics team helped define the search area, and aircraft from our CA & AZ wings deployed. @CAL_FIRE located the wreckage on foot due to the terrain. 🔎 abcn.ws/3UrPmFb #CAPMission

📸 The president reviews maps of geospatial damage assessments made by our national #CivilAirPatrol geospatial team in support of @fema responding to the Hawaii wildfires. Volunteers serving America's communities. #CAPMission
I just got off the phone with @GovJoshGreenMD – following a call with @FEMA_Deanne – to discuss Hawai'i's recovery after the deadliest wildfire in a century that has claimed 99 lives. I reassured the Governor that Hawai'i will continue to have everything it needs from the federal government, and directed Administrator Criswell to keep surging resources and personnel as long as it takes. Every asset they need will be there for them.
