Only 6% of federal workers show up in person on a full-time basis, scathing Senate report reveals
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 Hunter Biden pardon gives Donald Trump powerful new political cover
In his sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden did not just protect his son. He also handed President-elect Donald Trump a template to shield his own allies and stretch the pardon power even further.
Legal experts say Trump now has fresh precedent — and political cover — to issue expansive pardons absolving his allies not only of specific offenses, but even any undetermined crimes they may have committed.
Canada posts bigger-than-expected trade deficit of $924-million in October
Canada recorded a bigger than expected trade deficit of $924-million in October, its eighth straight monthly trade shortfall, as export growth could not offset a smaller rise in imports, Statistics Canada data showed on Thursday.
Border control is looking better and better, eh?
The REAL reason Joe Biden is in Africa
The media won’t tell you this, but here’s the REAL reason @JoeBiden is in Africa. He’s building rail lines that connect mines so African kids can dig up the minerals we need for the Green New Deal. All so we can have windmills that pockmark our coastlines and subsidize electric… pic.twitter.com/Aequ25QgzI

‘Kids are scared’: Random attacks have residents of small-city N.L. shaken
Mount Pearl resident Bailey Rempel says life for her and her young family simply hasn’t been the same since her husband was assaulted by a group of young people at after-school pick-up in late November.
“There are things that don’t make it into the headlines,” she told a public meeting of concerned citizens this week. “How my husband hasn’t been able to work a full day yet, and how our house stays dark now because the lights make his head hurt.”
Is This a Threat?
Dr. Peter Hotez is one of the most prolific liars about COVID in the world.
A big fan of medical totalitarianism, Hotez helped fund the gain of function research that likely led to the outbreak of COVID-19, and he was among the most vociferous critics of the lab leak theory, which is almost certainly correct.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Now Hotez is panicked by the return of Donald Trump to the White House. A frequent guest on MSDNC, Hotez went on a rant against Trump and his appointments, and while doing so he made comments that one might or might not interpret as a threat.

Why the energy transition needs a global critical materials databank
Critical materials (also referred to as critical minerals) – such as cobalt, chromium, copper, graphite, lithium, silver and others – are essential for the needs of the energy transition, because they are increasingly used in the production of clean energy technologies, namely solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric cars. Having access to and ensuring supply of critical materials are among the key drivers of technological innovation, as China’s clean energy manufacturing boom demonstrates.
Critical materials markets are characterized by complex geography and a complicated market structure of extraction, processing and the intermediate and final use of metals. This complexity requires the availability of quality data – but most mineral supply markets remain highly opaque due to limited information. This is a serious bottleneck that is already disrupting mineral supply chains and poses a risk to the ongoing energy transition.
