A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Damn. A win win for them. Hold out on giving healthcare to those in need and fire government employees in the meantime.

They were going to fire those govt employees anyway, let's not kid ourselves. They demonstrated that they were capable of gutting critical govt agencies while the govt was still open, they didn't need a shutdown.
