Smoke from wildfires in OR, WA, and ID will move through MT and into northern WY today and tomorrow (Mon, Tue). North winds east of the cont. divide will bring the smoke southward this afternoon and overnight. This animation shows the smoke forecast from the 12 UTC HRRR model.

Wow. Multiple towns in Wyoming apparently just lost their newspapers overnight.
These communities rarely got coverage even when there was someone reporting on them. Now they won't at all.

Wall Street suffered its worst day of the year on Monday, amid investor fears that President Trump's tariffs could raise prices, slow the economy and sow uncertainty among businesses. The S&P 500 has now erased all the gains it made since Election Day. nyti.ms/43A9nhf

From the Grand Canyon to the Rocky Mountains to Yellowstone and beyond, thousands gathered at national parks across the country on Saturday to protest sweeping federal cuts to the United States’ historic public lands. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pro…

This is the reality that Trump and Vance are trying to deny. They have no empathy for Ukrainians under attack from an aggressor. They are intent on denying objective reality to justify their valueless Kremlin brand of foreign policy and performative far right domestic politics.

NEWS
Major changes coming to federal government, led by Musk's DOGE:
- Most significant move to dismiss federal workers now underway. This is the big one. Agencies must submit plans to significantly reduce staff size by March 13
- Social Security Admin under instruction to cut staff in half; GSA says terminations there are imminent
- Labor Dept eyes gutting EEOC office by *90%*
- Mass lease cancellations of federal buildings
underway. +100 IRS leases to be nixed, per records
Helps make sense of why Musk and Trump wanted unified front today with Cabinet secretaries

This move does not give the power back to the people - it gives power to the White House. The WHCA is democratically elected by the full-time White House press corps.
WHCA has determined pools for decades because only representatives FROM our outlets can determine resources all those outlets have - such as staffing - in order to get the President's message out to the largest possible audience, no matter the day or hour.
A group of DC-based journalists, the White House Correspondents' Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the President of the United States.
Not anymore.
Today, I was proud to announce that we are giving the power back to the people.
Moving forward, the ‘White House Press Pool,’ will be determined by the White House Press Team.
Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join – but we will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility.

Terrific thread cataloguing how the DOGE website's claim of $55 billion saved consists heavily of basic math errors - confusing billions vs. millions - failing to list to other savings, and basic accounting errors.
The true savings are perhaps 1/10 of the claimed total.
After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.
Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.

Well, Brandon Hagel and Matthew Tkachuk drop the gloves off the opening face-off. That was something.
