Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

I wonder how much of AI "it tells me I am transforming into a god" cultism involves a digital version of Stendhal Syndrome, a cheesecake superstimulus very deliberately tailor made by the billionaires who created it to do so.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

The same rubes who think Donald Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war are the same rubes who think Donald Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run an economy.

This is what Trump Derangement Syndrome truly looks like.

Seems fair.

Was diplomacy with Iran really doomed to fail? Trump’s negotiators seemed to misunderstand Iranian positions, but acknowledge they probably could have gotten “Obama plus” deal.

Who could have guessed two real estate guys would have no idea what they were doing in negotiations with Iran? Absolutely devastating account from @lkrozen.bsky.social. diplomatic.substack.com/p/was-diplom...

ICE freezes Newport detention center plans Newport’s mayor wants assurances the agency will not revive its plans in the future.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has abandoned efforts to build a detention center in Newport, at least for now, according to court filings first reported by the Statesman Journal.

The asshole in the WH thinks the war ends when we (or Israel) decides it’s over.

That’s not how this works. Just because we may want to stop hostilities, doesn’t mean Iran will.

Iran has been waiting for this for 20 years. You think they aren’t ready for the long haul?

Let me ask you this: how

Jasmine Crockett's concession announcement along with her support of James Talarico.

Excellent statement from Jasmine Crockett.

It's not an easy thing to pour your heart into an election and then come up short.

Some candidates need weeks to gather themselves and announce their support for the person they lost to.

But she wasted no time.

Why?

Because she knows what is at stake.

The Iran War’s Most Precious Commodity Isn’t Oil The CIA calls it the “strategic commodity” of the Middle East. But it’s not referring to oil or natural gas. What the American spy agency has in mind is far more prosaic: drinking water. Don’t underes...

This whole article is about how Iran might attack other Gulf state water infrastructure but doesn't once mention the dire water straights Iran is in nor the fact that *neither* side of this war seems to give a shit about people.

How could anyone have predicted that a Secretary of Defense with Crusader tattoos who attends a Christian nationalist church would get us into a religious Holy War? It’s a shocking development.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

Pete Hegseth really is an astounding idiot who truly does seem to believe that the way to win wars is just to war crime harder than the other guy.

Just an endless 'taking the gloves off' until your hands are reduced to bloody stumps because it turns out taking the gloves off usually doesn't help.
