Saw him as i was leaving around 2 (my flag got in the shot :-))

The “I may hate what you have to say, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it” quote may not come from Voltaire but it’s top of mind after the awful Charlie Kirk news. I hope that he survives and that the level of political vitriol will
Go down, but I fear that it won’t

We should get very excited, learn as much as we can about it, and prevent Elon musk from contaminating it :-)

It was a 7-4 decision. Haven’t looked at it carefully yet but concerned that the four no votes implies that there are at least semi Plausible rationales that a Supreme Court majority might use to Overturn this

So close to filling in another 5%

It’s vague but there’s lots of precedent. His attempt is likely bogus under that precedent but remains to be seen

Good thing he’s almost certainly never going to get there :-)

The Supreme Court suggested a few months ago that its majority was likely to insulate the Fed from its expected Humphrey's Executor repeal. And Bessent supposedly persuaded Trump not try to fire Fed governors without cause (or I guess a seemingly contrived cause).

Wish there was an easy way to know if other entities sought rehearing too

The article links to the groups' rehearing request.

DOE eventually posted the 202(c) rehearing requests for Campbell/Eddystone on the same pages as the orders. Maybe it will eventually do so for challenges to the report?

(The uncertainty/delays make me appreciate eLibrary even more).

Good for the 4th cir and the decidedly not-woke, non-commie, widely respected judge Wilkinson

BREAKING: The 4th Circuit has *denied* the Trump administration's effort to resist an order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by midnight tonight.

Judge Xinis' order is still in effect. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

To my journalist clients & friends, be forewarned. At some point, Trump Admin will file #EspionageAct charges against media outlet/journalist for unlawfully disclosing national defense info (does not need to be classified). No 1st Amendment protection exist.

Don't be that person. The risk is real.

Can confirm. My dad made it quite clear that I was his remote in the 70s :-)

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

Even Trump issued a proclamation (crudely) honoring black history month

This is a stupid and/or cowardly reaction to mean spirited policies meant to
Intimidate

I’d guess bc someone is afraid of somehow being punished under executive orders and pentagon policies. :-(

Madness :-(

Even IF one thinks that DEI “went too far” Frederick Douglass is an all-time great American and Marylander based exclusively on objective metrics of merit, ability, and accomplishments.

Show this to a federal worker and let them know how many people support and appreciate them.

I hope that judges start sanctioning the heck out of lawyers that pull this.
