Why DOGE Keeps Dumping on our National Park System [View all]
Springtime in Yosemite National Park is one of those rare things that lives up to the hype — if you’re into meandering through wildflower-flecked meadows or stumbling across hidden waterfalls away from the crowds, that is.
I’ve hiked more than a thousand miles here over the years, but I discover something new every time, often thanks to a grizzled park ranger or campground host letting me in on their secret spot.
But if you’re thinking of visiting California’s most popular national park like I did earlier this month, you just might see a wildlife specialist mopping the men’s room instead of studying bears emerging from hibernation.
Forcing scientists and park rangers to multitask by cleaning up muck is the brilliant brainchild of Elon Musk’s DOGE, which ordered staff layoffs followed by a hiring freeze.
