"The firings leave the four-member commission with no commissioners, meaning it cannot take official action until new members are installed. They also come days after the Supreme Court granted the president power to fire leaders of independent agencies, weakening a legal framework that for decades had insulated bipartisan federal commissions from direct White House control."

I went to open the window in the basement yesterday and saw that I had a little visitor. The window is in a window well, and there are 2.5' walls on all the sides. At first I thought she was just rooting around, but then realized she was trapped. So, I set a wooden plank down into the alcove to give her a way out. She didn't take it.

I tried to avoid interacting with her because I didn't want to stress her out, so I waited until she was asleep and put some berries from the yard and a little dish of water out for her through the window.

When she still wasn't leaving by the next day, I called a wildlife rescue agency and they advised wrapping the plank in a towel so she'd have some grip, and putting some cat food at top to give her a scent to follow. I did that, and within an hour she was climbing out.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty broken about this. She was adorable, but I'm happy she's gone, running little skunk errands and living her best, if stinky, life.

Trump fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on Thursday, abruptly disabling the only federal agency devoted solely to election administration at a moment when Trump has sought to reshape federal voting rules.

The two Democratic commissioners, Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland, were notified by email. “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Commissioner of the Election Assistance Commission is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service,” the email said. It was signed by Morgan DeWitt Snow, deputy director of presidential personnel in the Executive Office of the President.

The third commissioner, Republican Christy McCormick, was allowed to resign, according to three sources within the agency. McCormick declined to comment when reached by phone. The agency’s fourth commissioner, Republican Donald Palmer, voluntarily departed the agency earlier this year to join the Heritage Foundation.
