#1 "Stunning" to some possibly.

#2 Clarifying.
Battle lines are starting to be drawn.
Move all the swamp creatures out of D.C.

Just as we dispersed the Federal Reseve Banks and the Circuit Courts across the heartland, so we should force the federal bureaucracy to decamp to Richmond, KC, Cincinnati, Dallas, etc.

Bring it on.

#3 They LIKE being in DC. They are among their tribe there. The public schools are the best in the country and pay the highest salaries. They have a nice enclave there and don't want to leave. It's like an expat neighborhood in a third world country. It is well and good for them to rule us. We wouldn't make decisions that were in their favor if they let us decide.

#6 The deadline has come and gone and, unsurprisingly, only 45 of the 568 employees have chosen to move with their employer.

The rest will go to work for the industries they were basically working for before the move. Lobbyists by any other name. See - institutional capture. Now they'll be on their dime, not the taxpayers.

Indicating that they were not necessary in the first place. Wasn't it Parkinson's Law that bureaucracies expand because it is easier to get promoted by hiring more underlings?

#8 Hey..I'm from Cincy and I want these swamp creatures in my home town as much as I would an ISIS colonist.

#10 Now, now, Warthog. The idea is that there be few of them and a lot of you.

#14 Isn't that the "Show me state"? Quite fitting for down to earth science.

#15 Quite fitting for down to earth science.

It is, but 'science' isn't the issue these whiny folks are concerned with, their Beltway culture and standard of living is.

#19 The FBI wants to tear down and rebuild the J.Edgar Hoover building. As a part of that,
In line with this plan to maximize space availability at FBI-owned locations, reduce overall costs, and leverage operational efficiencies, the FBI will be moving more than 2,500 positions—both employees and contractors—to its owned facilities across the nation, including Clarksburg, West Virginia; Huntsville, Alabama; Pocatello, Idaho; and Quantico, Virginia. It is anticipated that several hundred positions could be shifted to FBI facilities in Clarksburg, West Virginia, and Pocatello, Idaho, while the remainder would be realigned to Huntsville, Alabama. The FBI already has a substantial presence in each of these communities. The FBI first began operations in Pocatello in 1984 and Clarksburg in 1995. The FBI’s presence at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville dates back to the establishment of the Hazardous Devices School in 1971.
