🐶🆘DON’T KILL HOSS

Loose, wiggly, easily leashed. A volunteer sez:

Musk will have to testify over his role in shuttering USAID, a judge has ruled.

The DOJ tried to protect Musk from testifying, arguing it would “intrude on White House activities," but as Musk wasn’t a secretary or agency head, this reasoning doesn't excuse him. trib.al/EGROKkN

Trump wants to shutter the Kennedy Center for 2 years – an arts management professor explains what that portends While the center’s need for major upgrades is real, the dramatic and disruptive closure of the entire campus isn’t in order, a scholar of arts institutions explains.

A silhouetted person stands on wet sand near the shoreline as the sun sets beneath a long pier that angles across the frame. The sun aligns between the pier pylons, casting a bright vertical reflection on the sand and water. The sky shifts from warm orange near the horizon to deep blue above, with scattered clouds catching faint pink light.
