Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.
Lol, ok, I can see why this is called NOT THE ONION. Geeze, and this is the most powerful country in the world. Maybe they don’t actually know where Canada is, ha.

Ah, the willy nilly style of leadership… Oh wait, this is coming from the Russian puppet rapist pants-shitter. In that case it’s exactly what Russia needs. It’s deliberate. It’s expected.
Reminds me of when I would root my phone and then go through stripping out anything I didn’t understand assuming it was bloat or spyware. I’d typically end up frustrated that my device didn’t seem to run very well.
lol … idiots are trying to root the US government and don’t know what they are doing. Hopefully they won’t brick everything and go out and buy an overpriced brand new iphone.

TBH it’s on message for them.
The guy they had to lead the DOE last time had no idea what they did, either. It’s nice to see that at least some things don’t change.
DOGE, but 25% more efficient?
It seems funny until you realize that we actually do need some serious people running government, and instead, our president has staffed it with 20 year-old morons and idiotic TV personalities that he probably secretly uses for fap fodder.
Yeah, President Musk isn’t going for serious or for a running government.
So a hair under 20 years ago I was offered a position similar to this after leaving the Navy. I’m so glad I went into private industry in another field entirely.
Those stockpiles should be moved to Canada, because clearly they are not mature enough to take care of such things.
