Local Shelter Stunned By Dog’s Condition But Here’s How She Looks Like Now After Being Given 2nd Chance

It’s always heartbreaking to see a dog having a tumor, especially one that has gone unchecked and untreated. Tumors can grow sh0ckingly large, leading to a great deal of discomfort for these poor animals.

Like one dog, who was surrendered to a shelter with a massive tumor, but with some kind rescuers, this dog has now gotten a second chance.

A dog called Hattie was surrendered by her owners to a local shelter, and they were in sh0ck to see the massive tumor on the dog’s side.

The owner was apparently surrendering Hattie for eu:than:asi:a, but instead Hattie was given a second chance. Needing a lot of care, she was taken to Dallas DogRRR – Rescue.Rehab.Reform, who were shocked by the dog’s condition.

In a post on Facebook they said it “may be the worst owner surrender we have taken in,” and said Hattie’s owners let the tumor grow for two years without doing anything about it. No charges were filed.

While Hattie’s health was clearly neglected by her family, she was now in good hands. The rescue scheduled Hattie a surgery with Vet Ranch.

In spite of everything she went through, vets found Hattie to be in good spirits. A vet explained that she has learned to live with the massive weight on her side

“It’s just so sad to me that she’s used to just dealing with this,” Hattie’s vet said in a video shared by Vet Clinic. “She just goes day in and day out dealing with this like it’s a bean bag chair, even though she has this on her.”

Vets performed the surgery to remove the giant tumor. Dr. Karri of vet ranch wrote on Facebook that it took “three hours to get that beast off,” but the surgery was a success and Hattie was “resting comfortably.”

“She was 41 lbs and now only weighs 26!” the vet wrote. “I can’t wait to see how her personality changes without carrying this burden anymore.”

After Hattie’s story went viral on the social media, followers asked for an update about Hattie’s health — and Dallas DogRRR reported that the sweet dog had a very happy ending.

They wrote that in the year since Hattie’s “bowling ball size tumor” was removed, she has found a loving home!

“She was happily adopted, and once again, a lost and abandoned animal has found their happy ending,” the rescue wrote.

Photos show Hattie in her new home: she seems happy and comfortable and has another dog to play with.

 

A rumor regarding Amber Heard and Jason Momoa has been confirmed.

Amber Heard, aged 38, and Jason Momoa, who is 44, were co-stars in DC’s hit film “Aquaman” as well as its follow-up, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” 

In the sequel, Heard’s time on screen was notably less compared to her presence in the original film.

It appears she has now somewhat withdrawn from the spotlight. 

Leading up to the debut of the second “Aquaman” film, there was a lot of speculation and chatter about the nature of Heard and Momoa’s off-screen relationship.

A film executive has now shared details about this topic.

Over the past few years, Heard has rarely been seen in public, and it is reported that she has stepped away from her Hollywood career. 

According to a source from People magazine, the actress is now dedicating herself to motherhood, focusing on her daughter Oonagh, who was born in 2021.

“She spends every day with her girl. They stroll around, visit parks, and enjoy family time. Amber is a great mom,” the source elaborated. 

This shift in Heard’s life comes following her legal battles with her former husband, Johnny Depp, a star known for his role in “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

Depp won a defamation lawsuit against Heard in 2022 which stemmed from an op-ed she penned for The Washington Post in 2018, discussing domestic violence.

Depp’s legal team argued that, although he wasn’t explicitly named, the article was indirectly referring to prior accusations Heard had made against him. 

Throughout the trial, both parties exchanged a series of alarming accusations against each other.

During the trial, Heard testified that her involvement in the “Aquaman” sequel was dramatically reduced amid her ongoing legal disputes with Depp.

She expressed that she had to fight “really hard to stay in the movie” and noticed that with “newer versions of the script,” her scenes were “taken away,” according to MailOnline.

She commented, “They basically took a bunch out of my role. They just removed a bunch.” 

However, when it was time for Depp’s counterarguments, another explanation was provided regarding why Heard’s screen time was reduced.

During a video deposition, Walter Hamada, the executive producer of “Aquaman,” claimed that Heard’s role was not cut down and that her character was always intended to be less prominent.

He mentioned that there were discussions about possibly recasting Heard’s role due to lack of chemistry with Momoa.

“They didn’t really have a lot of chemistry together,” Hamada revealed (according to The Independent). 

He continued, explaining, “The reality is, it’s not uncommon in movies for two leads to not have chemistry.”

He added that it “took a lot of effort” to make their on-screen relationship appear believable.

Filmmaker James Wan also shared insights with Entertainment Weekly, stating that the decision for Heard to have a smaller role was part of the original plan for the sequel.

“I always pitched this to everyone from the get-go. The first Aquaman was Arthur and Mera’s journey. 

“The second movie was always going to be Arthur and Orm.

“So the first was a romance action-adventure movie, the second one is a bromance action-adventure movie. We’ll leave it at that,” Wan explained.

Despite the discussions surrounding her role, Heard did make an appearance in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” although her participation was significantly reduced.

Barry Gibb and his son stunned the audience with an emotional duet of “I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You”!

Barry Gibb and his son Stephen Gibb gave a spectacular performance of the Bee Gees’ song “I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You,” leaving the crowd greatly moved.

The duet was performed on June 4, 2014, in the legendary Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles as part of Barry’s Mythology Tour, as a tribute to his late brothers and fellow Bee Gees members Robin and Maurice Gibb.

The song, published in 1968, became the Bee Gees’ second number-one single on the UK Singles Chart. It was written by Robin Gibb and depicts the moving story of a man on execution row requesting a farewell message to be sent to his loved one. The father-son duo’s sincere rendition, resonating powerfully with the performance increased the song’s emotional depth.

Stephen Gibb, a musician in his own right and a member of the Gibb Collective (a band founded by the Gibb brothers’ offspring), gave a fresh yet nostalgic spirit to the performance. The cooperation not only celebrated the Bee Gees’ enduring legacy but also emphasized the family’s ongoing contribution to the music industry.

The Mythology Tour was Barry Gibb’s first tour without his brothers, and it was a watershed event in his career.

Barry, accompanied by Stephen and his niece Samantha Gibb, Maurice’s daughter, turned the tour into a family affair honoring Robin and Maurice’s legacy. The poignant duet between Barry and Stephen at the Hollywood Bowl was one of the tour’s highlights, making an indelible effect on audiences and reinforcing the Bee Gees’ music’s enduring appeal.

Confused Couple Surprised by Sudden Photo Fame, Discovers Clarity in Unexpected Comment

Dan and Wendy embody the definition of couple goals. But it wasn’t until they shared an anniversary photo that they learned what kind of relationship they are.

The two already had a significant internet influence due to their occupations, but the reaction to this photo was unlike anything they could have predicted. It took them a while to understand their followers’ emotions, but in the end, they couldn’t have been happier to find out what everyone thought.

Taking Care of Yourself to Take Care of Each Other

Wendy and Dan have been together for ten years. They are both health and fitness buffs. The two are firm believers in doing what is good and beneficial for the mind, body, and spirit. By taking care of themselves, they’ve learned to take care of one another as a couple.

But after recently publishing a 10-year anniversary photo, the two of them recognized something they hadn’t noticed previously.

Wendy’s Path to Health and Wellness

Dan and Wendy weren’t always Instagram famous. In reality, they met far before social media began to flourish and boom. But health and fitness were always on their minds, even before they met.

Wendy earned a Master’s Degree in Public Administration with a specialization and focus on health cases. She decided to pursue this road after realizing that diets and weight loss trends are fads that do not work as a lifestyle.

She needed to discover something that made her feel wonderful on both the outside and the inside.

Dan’s Path to Health and Wellness

While Wendy was away pursuing her Master’s degree, Dan was on his own journey to choose the ideal health and fitness regimen for himself.

It all began in college when he joined the basketball team. He went on to spend years as an athlete, learning everything there was to know about health and fitness firsthand.

After learning that this was his passion, he pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. He enjoyed feeling good about his lifestyle. This later encouraged him to assist others achieve their fitness and weight loss objectives in the healthiest way possible.

2006: A Time When Facebook Was Just Developing

The two discovered a passion for the same subject but on different roads. But how did they meet?

Essentially, the two met on Facebook in 2006 while in college, when the network was aimed more towards connecting people, notably boys meeting girls.

Dan was sitting in front of the computer one night, looking through friends of friends for girls who appeared to be interested in him.

Messaging Wendy for the First Time

He discovered Wendy while scrolling through some friends of friends on his Facebook excursion. He thought she was lovely and fun, so he decided to send her a note on Facebook.

When she saw the message, her first thought was, “I don’t know you, I did not trust the internet, people from the internet… but he was still cute.”

As Dan and Wendy explained in their video STORY TIME: HOW WE MET, meeting people on the internet was still considered taboo, particularly in the early days of Facebook. So she decided to confide in her friend Daphne.

However, what Daphne had to say about Dan surprised her.

“D” is for Determined

Wendy told her friend Daphne that a guy named “Dan Hennessey” messaged her on Facebook, and Daphne couldn’t believe who he was after seeing his images.

He appears to have messaged Daphne that evening as well – whoops! Wendy assumed she would not react to his message at this moment.

Dan, on the other hand, “D” is determined. He contacted her again a few weeks later. Wendy determined after a little Facebook stalking that he appeared like a normal person because he was connected to numerous of her high school acquaintances.

“If She Did Say Yes, We Would Have Created One”

The two began talking and appeared to have a great rapport. But it was finally time for them to make the ultimate step from “online” to “in person”. So, what did Dan choose to do?

As one of his college basketball teammates, he felt it would be a wonderful idea for them to meet at a party in his building.

“There was no party,” Dan said in their YouTube video years later, “but if she did say yes, we would have created one.”

And that is exactly what occurred. Wendy accepted the invitation, and Dan started preparing the celebration.

The First Moment They Met

So, who said chivalry had d.i.e.d? Dan was arranging a complete party for a girl he’d never met in person. Not only that, but he made sure to inform all of his buddies about the situation between him and Wendy.

“Everybody knew what the deal was. And who was coming. I’m sure [the girls] did the same thing.”

Wendy brought a few friends as backup and was pleasantly surprised when she arrived at the party. Dan greeted Wendy with a joyful smile as she waited for someone to open the door when they arrived.

Their eyes connected, and she felt a weight lift off her shoulders as she realized he was something unique.

“I’m Gonna Make You Say You Love Me”

The first time they met was extremely fantastic. Dan’s first impressions were, “she looked way better than her pictures.” That meant something because there were no filters back then. Dan was as impressed by Wendy’s actual beauty as she was by his wonderful smile.

Even after the celebration had ended, the two kept talking and dancing all night.

They danced to Chris Brown’s song “Ain’t No Way” at the end of the night, when it was just the two of them. And he sung the line “I’m gonna make you say you love me.”

And little did she realize that she would actually say those three words a few months later!

Putting Their Bond on the Back Burner

When it comes to dating and committed relationships, time is essential. Wendy had a terrific time with Dan at his party, although she was still coming out of a long-term relationship.

Fortunately, Dan and Wendy’s pals got along well, too. So the two of them would hang out all the time, even though she wasn’t interested in dating Dan at the moment.

It wasn’t until one specific text message that the modest backburn fire lit up the whole kitchen.

Happy Birthday Dan!

It might be difficult to maintain contact with college pals at times. Maintaining a strong friendship throughout the year can be difficult, whether it’s due to the stress of midterm exams or simply meeting new people on weekends.

Wendy and Dan’s friend groups were linked, so they saw a lot of each other and became good friends over the next six months.

However, Wendy and Dan didn’t talk much fora few weeks during the Spring semester. But as soon as Wendy realized it was Dan’s birthday, she wrote him a cheery “Happy Birthday” message.

A Dinner That Changed Everything

He immediately responded and asked that they hang out. Wendy agreed that it needed to happen, so they agreed to meet for dinner.

Throughout the previous few months of their acquaintance, there has been an underlying train of romantic tension between them. This supper turned out to be much more than just a casual catch-up.

Dan, being the bold risk-taker he is, went ahead and officially “asked Wendy out” at this dinner.

When they originally met, she wasn’t ready to get back into a relationship, but was she now?

Dan’s Feelings for Wendy in College

Since the night that they met at Dan’s party a few months had passed by and they both had a chance to get to know each other without the pressure of dating.

And even though the two were out and about meeting people and partying like typical college students, Dan still always had a completely different connection with her than with anyone else.

“She’s amazing. She’s a super model basically. She was funny. She was cool. I could sit down and have a conversation with her,” Dan admitted on a YouTube video.

Her Daughter Told Her To Stop Playing And Take Off The Wedding Dress

Evelyn, who had lived much of her life feeling lonely, found new happiness when she met Peter, a retired history professor. Their connection blossomed in the nursing home, and soon, their love led to a small, intimate wedding ceremony.

The staff at the nursing home supported their union, but Evelyn’s daughter, Sarah, was not pleased with the marriage. However, after seeing the wedding photos online, Sarah was moved by the joy in her mother’s face. Reflecting on her previous stance, she admitted, “I was wrong. Seeing those photos and your happiness has made me realize how foolish I’ve been.”

Sarah’s disapproval quickly turned to understanding, and she began to rebuild her relationship with Evelyn. Evelyn’s love story not only brought happiness back into her own life but also inspired Sarah to seek joy for herself, proving that love has the power to heal even the deepest rifts.

Michael Douglas’ life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with a ғᴀᴛᴀʟ condition

Michael Douglas has won numerous accolades for his acting and directing endeavors.

In the same vein as his father, Kirk Douglas, the actor has received international fame. However, when the singer was diagnosed with a terminal disease, his entire life was turned upside down.

The BAFTA-winning actor began his career in the late 1960s and found enormous success with the film adaptation of the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. He also made headlines for his marriage to actress Catherine Zeta Jones.

Douglas, on the other hand, struggled with what he initially thought was throat cancer, far apart from his demanding work schedule and glamorous Hollywood lifestyle.

Despite the gravity of his situation, the star stated in an open interview about his health problems that he never expected to d.i.e.

“It’s strange, I know, but I never considered dying during the entire course of chemotherapy and radiation,” he added.

“My mother d.i.e.d at the age of 92,” he remarked.

My father just turned 102 years old. I never paid any heed to d3ath or aging.

Speaking with fellow actor Samuel L Jackson, Douglas stated that his specialist advised him to issue a statement stating that he has throat can:cer, but that if sur:gery was required, his acting career could have ended.

The surgeon warned Douglas that he might lose part of his tongue and jaw.

Douglas gave a sh0cking interview to the Guardian two years after his recovery, in which he revealed more about his battle with can:cer, including the cause.

He told the newspaper that oral ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴄᴏᴜʀsᴇ was the “cause” of tongue can:cer because HPV (human papillomavirus), a se..xually transmitted dis:ease, causes can:cer.

Despite his openness in the interview, the star felt forced to clarify his remarks following a public outpouring of wrath.

Later, Douglas’ spokesperson told CNN that the actor did not entirely blame his can:cer on HPV because he smoked and drank. According to the official statement:

“Michael Douglas never claimed that ᴄᴜɴɴɪʟɪɴɢᴜs caused his can:cer.” Although experts in the narrative recognized that oral s…ex is likely to contribute to some mouth can:cers, he did not expressly claim that oral s..ex caused his illness.

Douglas was diagnosed with stage 4 can:cer when a “walnut-sized growth” at the base of his tongue was discovered. He then began an eight-week intense tr3atment of chemotherapy and radiation.

“What a wild ride. That can really wear you out,” he told the Guardian.

“Plus, the amount of chemotherapy I was receiving erased all the good stuff. It made me quite weak.”

According to the Centers for Dis:ease Control and Prevention, just half of patients diagnosed with oral cancer survive five years after their diagnosis. The most common cause of this is a delayed diagnosis.

It’s critical to detect the warning signs and symptoms of tongue can:cer, according to Cancer Research UK, because it can develop on both the oral tongue, or the part that sticks out, and the base of the tongue.

Caring for our newborn meant missing dinner—my husband didn’t save me a plate

Between changing diapers, breastfeeding her sweet bundle of joy, and soothing him to sleep, she could barely find the time to eat anything.

It was her mother-in-laws who was supposed to look after the dinner, and Jenna felt at least she wouldn’t spend much time in the kitchen. However, one night, as she put the baby to sleep and went downstairs, she noticed there wasn’t any food left for her.

Her MIL said, “Well, you didn’t come down, so we assumed you weren’t hungry.” These words cut deeper than Jenna’s actual hunger.

Things became worse turn when John didn’t react at his mom’s words. He demanded Jenna to clean the mess and wash the dishes, saying she wasn’t doing anything anyway.

Image for illustrative purpose only.

Jenna was wounded so deep that she finally decided to confront John and his mother. But they accu:sed her of being lazy and started yelling at her.

Unable to tolerate how they tre:ated her, Jenna took some of her clothes, her baby, and went to her mother’s place.

Then, John called frequently her on the phone, demanding that she apologize to his mother. He wasn’t able to see the emotional toll his mother’s presence and his lack of support did Jenna.

Image for illustrative purpose only.

She was heartbroken and couldn’t see a way out until she thought of contacting the one person in the family who was always very realistic and reasonable; her father-in-law.

After she contacted him, he was totally unaware of what was going on but was very supportive and told her to get ready because he was taking her back home.

When they arrived at Jenna’s place, they saw John and his mother watching TV together and laughing.

He turned to his wife and said, “It was enough. You did a lot of damage and it’s time you return home. You are no longer staying with John and Jenna.” The MIL didn’t object.

He then turned to John and said he should be more supportive of his wife who had only given birth to their son five weeks ago. John, ashamed, agreed.

Image for illustrative purpose only.

Day by day, things seemed to chill out.

When the MIL visited, she was in deed helping around the house, and her visits were brief. John became more present and supportive, taking an active role in caring for their son and helping with household tasks.

Most Tattooed Man’ Shares What He Looked Like Without Ink, And You Better Sit Down

Tattoos considers as amazing tool to totally transform someone’s look. This is the reason it’s so intriguing to view the pre-inking photos of the world’s most inked individuals. The mom with over 800 tattoos, Australia’s most tattooed model, and the notorious “Black Alien” have already left us in awe.

However, the man known as “Britain’s most tattooed man” has since revealed an unrecognizable photo of himself from before he earned the title.

Known as the “King of Inkland King Body Art,” Matthew Whelan is more than just a body painter.

His unusual appearance has, however, been putting his health at risk.

He explains: “My transdermal implant (not micro dermal skin nip) surgical procedure is and has always been a 24/7 open wound and from time to time can bleed, get inflamed, scab, or seep plasma.”

“I don’t believe it to be an infection; however, the body is trying to heal an unwarranted hole punctured in it and a foreign object (a titanium disc and body jewellery), so it could just be the body mod version period just at that time of the month.”

“Jokes aside, ladies, I know some of you suffer really badly in those.”

“I will be OK, and if I’m not, I’ll go down in history like Jack Daniels, some monarchs from many centuries ago, and some other people dying from an unusual circumstance.”

However, it’s some recent throwback photos that the tattoo man shared on Instagramthat have tattoo enthusiasts enjoyable.

In one, he captions a picture of himself flexing his muscles with: “This is a throwback to the time of my skin only having one #tattoo. I was in better condition back then too and would have probably been on the wrestling team had we had one in high school.”

“Sporting off a British Bulldog on my right arm at the age of 16!”

One fan said, “Hardly recognised you lol!”

In another surprising before picture, he writes the caption, “WHO [duck]-ing HECK IS THIS?”

 

Famous Individual Shares Candid Insights About Oprah Winfrey’s Realities

Famous for her unfiltered and outspoken nature, Actress Rose McGowan recently made headlines for openly criticizing media mogul Oprah Winfrey on Twitter…

Actress Rose McGowan recently took to Twitter to criticize media mogul Oprah Winfrey in a message that has since gone viral, receiving thousands of shares and comments from supporters of both McGowan and Winfrey. The Hollywood actress exposed Oprah Winfrey on social media for her previous association with infamous Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, whom McGowan accused of grotesquely s*x:ual:ly assaulting her.

Especially among people who previously held Oprah in high esteem, the post in question sparked heated controversy on the internet. If what McGowan claims is true, then her narrative, which seemed to take a while to come, exposed Oprah in a way most Americans had never seen before.

Little was left to the imagination in the article that revealed McGowan’s true feelings about Oprah and what she decided to do with the influence she had amassed over the years.

McGowan wrote: “I’m glad she’s witnessing more and more of Oprah’s horrible truth. She’s not real, but I wish she was. She’s about supporting a corrupt power structure for her own benefit, from befriending Weinstein to abandoning and destroying Russell.” Simmon’s victims. She is completely fake. #lizard.”

About a year after Oprah stepped down from her role as executive producer of Russell Simmons’ #MeToo documentary, McGowan stepped in. At that time, Oprah stated her reason for leaving: “More work needs to be done on the film to clarify the full extent of what the victims endured, and it became clear that the filmmakers and I were not united in that creative vision. “

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the time, Oprah said she “definitely believes in and supports women” . Their stories deserve to be heard and told.

Unfortunately, Oprah has spoken to Weinstein in the past. In 2013, she starred in The Butler, a film distributed by the Weinstein Company. After actresses began coming forward as Weinstein’s victims, Oprah admitted that she had been “friendly with Harvey” before but claimed that she “didn’t know any of this was going on” and that she would have gone ahead if she had known he was. was a predator att:ack:ing women.

“Everybody has a story, so I believe this is a turning point. We’re going to miss this opportunity if we only make it about Harvey Weinstein, according to Oprah.”

Weinstein is in prison for 23 years because of ra:p:e and s*xual abu:se.

He was recently extradited to Los Angeles because local authorities want to charge him with other crimes that will require him to stand trial.

The California drama with reference to Gavin Newsome’s election has lately captivated McGowan . According to conservative Twitter sources, Newsome’s wife approached her and asked her to keep quiet.

In a surprising twist, Gavin Newsom’s California recall saga has become intertwined with McGowan’s. Some conservative sources on Twitter say Newsom’s wife reached out to her and asked her to keep quiet. This twist adds another layer of complexity to an already charged situation.

McGowan’s willingness to speak out against powerful figures, along with the ongoing controversy surrounding Weinstein and Oprah, shows the importance of transparency, accountability, and the need to support victims of a:bus:e. The debate sparked by her tweet continues to shed light on these crucial questions and is a reminder that no one, regardless of status, should be above the spotlight in the pursuit of justice and truth.

Trump Won’t Just Change Washington Politics — He’ll Change Life in the City

The incoming administration won’t just alter the federal workforce. It will touch the lives of everyone who lives in the district.

A person looks at election results on their phone.

Donald Trump’s victory signals radical changes ahead for Washington, the capital city — but also for D.C., the home town.

After years of imagining themselves safely ensconced in a blue bubble, residents of the metropolis that houses the government could be looking at major economic dislocation, professional upheaval and the transformation of everything from city budgets to municipal abortion laws and even local public school curriculums — all as a result of the national election.

That represents a major break with tradition, and could have a huge personal impact on the capital’s regular citizens as well as its power-class insiders.

Candidates have forever vowed to transform how “Washington” functions. But for the most part, the way locals live, work and play doesn’t change much from administration to administration: The decadeslong boom that turned the capital region into the ultimate liberal metro area (and left four of the country’s six richest counties in the Washington suburbs) began under Reagan and trundled along even as the political pendulum swung back and forth.

Now, though, people who spend their days staffing the government, researching policy or lobbying decision-makers may find that their home lives are not so immune from politics after all. Trump II arrives in office with specific plans for remaking the bureaucracy, loud grievances against the local government and broad power over things like abortion rights — none of which existed when he first took over in 2017. In my conversations around town this week, ordinarily sanguine D.C. denizens found it a jarring realization.

Start with those homes. Washington has long lived under the assumption that it is recession-proof, thanks in large part to government jobs and federal contracting. Trump has sought to reclassify and possibly fire tens of thousands of federal workers, and relocate tens of thousands more to other parts of the country. On a civic level, that’s the equivalent of a few big factory closings. (About a quarter of the District’s 800,000 jobs are federal; there are many more around the region.)

Given that many locals now have the bulk of their wealth tied up in the once-affordable region’s hefty real estate prices, those are factory closings that could have a massive impact even on those whose jobs remain secure. When lots of your neighbors lose their jobs, it tends to whack property valuations.

Work, too, could change significantly. Trump’s efforts to strip civil service protections for chunks of the federal workforce — and related efforts like the Heritage Foundation’s recent campaign to access bureaucrats’ emails in order to hunt down insufficiently loyal workers — represent a big change in a culture that has historically prided itself for a kind of nerdy, dispassionate expertise.

White House suspicions of federal careerists are commonplace. But the idea of a system under which people could actually be bounced for political reasons represents a huge change. For that matter, the idea of a system where non-politicals can be mass-fired at all is radical: People who made careers working for Uncle Sam have long accepted the trade-off of job security in exchange for not getting to earn as much as top private-sector pros.

Whatever else it would do to public policy, the end of that bargain would change the meaning of work for huge numbers of people in and around Washington.

These big moves would probably lead to a political and legal fight. On a smaller level, the return of a Trump administration would likely upend the expectations some workers have developed over the last five years by ordering a much stricter work-from-home regime for 200,000 federal jobs currently located in the District. This longtime GOP cause would likely please the city administration, which has pushed return-to-office in the name of shoring up downtown businesses. But it would still mean an immediate and tangible change for federal workers.

The most jarring possible changes, though, might have to do with the local laws of the capital itself. Under the Nixon-era bill that established the city government, Congress is still allowed to pass city legislation whenever it wants. Historically, this has led to occasional bouts of grandstanding around hot-button issues like drug legalization, but it has rarely been a transformative power in a city whose local rules still look a lot like other blue areas. Few federal lawmakers want to be responsible for city hall tasks like gas-stove regulations.
