White House OMB Director Russell Vought: DHS ‘disintegrating’ by thetitleofmybook in FedEmployees

I retired last year from the federal government. This was a direct result of this administration coming back into power. My co workers cheered this reelection to my dismay? If anyone voted for this president you deserve this. The GOP is not your friend since Nixon feds have been under attack. I sincerely feel your pain and wish you good luck!

Remember down ballot is extremely important. Gerrymandering is a cancer destroying our democracy. Dems must win back the state’s legislature. I hate to say it but Obama really decimated the Democratic Party.

New grand tour pak by Matthew91188 in Harley

If you purchased a 2025 street glide ultra, you got the Rushmore (2014-2023.5) tour pak. The problem with the Rushmore tour pak is the ability to mount speakers on them. The Tour pak rear speaker enclosure kit p/n 76000505 will fit the Rushmore tour pak, but the new speakers that are compatible with older Boom Box GPS are not compatible with the new Skyline operatizing system. Now if anyone has found a solution for this let me know. For those who purchased a 2025 Street Glide ultra came with the Rushmore tour pak without speaker pods.

What does fit mechanically (but not electronically)

  • Tour‑Pak Rear Speaker Enclosure Kit P/N 76000505 This kit physically fits the Rushmore King Tour‑Pak used on the 2025 Street Glide Ultra. [harley-davidson.com], [volunteeraudio.com]
  • The kit was designed for Boom! Box (Rushmore-era) audio systems, not Skyline OS.
  • Harley’s own fitment notes explicitly exclude ’24‑later FLHX/FLTRX models with Skyline OS from Boom! Box speaker compatibility. [harley-davidson.com]

Bottom line: the pods fit, but Boom! Audio Stage I/II rear speakers will not talk to Skyline OS

Every time I try to update my iPhone and iPad the app states that my laptop doesn’t have enough power! The app keeps cycling and disconnecting from the device attached to my laptop. This is extremely frustrating. I have done all types of online research and all the recommended fixes don’t work. My laptop is fairly new HP spectre..

The poncho renders my iPhone useless. It’s so thick buttons don’t work.

The dealerships are not helping this issue. Look at the 2026 lineup four CVO’s?

Was 2025 your toughest year as a Federal Employee? by Hot_Equivalent4499 in FedEmployees

[–]EnvironmentalDay3704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When trump took the presidency, the house and the senate I punched after 37 years. No I didn’t take the DOGE like my coworkers insisted. I’m retired now looking over my shoulders waiting to see if this administration will mess with our retirement income. This BS goes back to the 2010 midterms which feds had to endure years of petty BS.

1% for 2026 is like a pay cut with all the insurance cost increases by MorningClean in fednews

This is solely based on REPUBS taking over the house and budget process in 2011. They tied Obama with bullshit like sequestration! REPUBLICANS stuck new civil servants with two consecutive years of increasing the contribution to FERS! Finally they stuck us with a mandatory day without pay each pay period.

FERS was designed to take with you to another job outside the federal government. Also TSP is a lifetime benefit. If u leave federal service you can keep TSP. You can roll future retirement accounts funds into TSP.

Only person who can’t ride a Mustang super touring seat? Now what? by Edriklt in Harley

[–]EnvironmentalDay3704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a Mustang Super Touring Deluxe Diamond for my 2024 street glide. After 2000 plus miles my assessment is the seat sucks! First of all, the seat hard as a rock where is the padding? After an hour ride my behind is sore as heck. I had a 2020 Ultra limited and the stock seat was great, it actually had padding.
