Honestly, “Department of War” reminds us what they do, but I think different people take different messages from the concept that they are not just for defense…

Great day for a match, let's play two!

Unless there was a last minute change, the bill also eliminates the HOME and CDBG programs, which would be a major blow to community development and housing programs in cities throughout the country.

We didn’t say the Pledge of Allegiance in school when I was a kid, and I think that had a big impact on my perception of this country

There is definitely surplus federal land and property that could be used for good housing production. This proposal does not do that. Thanks for the link.

Was this the "adjacent community" version or the actual MBTA community-compliant version?

Among the Liberal promises in this week's Canadian elections: $25b in financing for prefab home manufacturers #housing #canada

Seriously. This is not the NBA finals, this is peoples' lives and futures.

Your move @mitofficial.bsky.social

It's encouraging to see organizations refuse federal funding rather than given in and change basic human decency standards. It's also good to see universities get backbones. But if federal funds foregone are replaced with private funds, oligarchs have stolen our tax money.

These law firms make lawyers look bad

Good news out of #PortlandME - sprawl-inducing limited access highway plan makes way for a more comprehensive study of how to address suburban mobility. At least for now. www.mainepublic.org/climate/2025...

Not to mention that Amtrak is a private corporation already. It just gets subsidies like most of Musk’s businesses.

As an aside, it seems every federal memo now has to start with several paragraphs kissing the Commander in Chief's butt

This posting was cited in my department at MIT as how academics should respond. It's a good piece on realism with integrity.

That was my first reaction as well.

Wonder what's going to happen to the US bond rating? Not paying vendors based on agreed-upon contracts seems like a bad sign for potential investors. And talk of just not paying off some debt seems worse.
