FY26 Trump Budget Request Details Released - New Wildfire Agency and Huge Cuts Outside WFM

[u/Flat-Suggestion-8373]

Here are some of the wildfire-related items in the FY26 budget blueprint that the White House released today (link below). Chiefly, it proposes a “new Federal Wildland Fire Service” under DOI. But also note significant changes in related areas, like the draconian cuts to the “non-fire” side of Forest Service (e.g., almost complete elimination of FS R&D, significant cut to already underfunded NFS activities, etc.).

I love it. I thrive in the grey and this will be such an unmitigated shit show that I will flourish in the rubble!!! Nobody is giving out parking tickets when the whole city is getting bombed so I will just start going totally cowboy and doing what makes sense.

Is “not gay in a 3 way” considered the grey area??

Not gay, just "curious".
