There was a riot on the streets.
Tell me where were you?
You were sitting home watching your TV.
While I was participating in some anarchy.
First spot we hit it was my music shop.
It only took one brick to make that window drop.
Finally we got our own PA.

It's how you get the non loyalists out maybe?

I wanted 6 year old me to be proud of me.

Another hit to the unitary executive theory.

"Earned" is doing some lifting when she got removed from all committees for a chunk of that.

As I spent more and more of my life under the care of doctors, nurses, and researchers striving to improve the lives of others, I watched as Bobby cut nearly a half billion dollars for research into mRNA vaccines, technology that could be used against certain cancers; slashed billions in funding from the National Institutes of Health, the world's largest sponsor of medical research; and threatened to oust the panel of medical experts charged with recommending preventive cancer screenings. Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I

Just an absolutely gutting essay by Tatiana Schlossberg, a writer, mother of two young children, and cousin of RFK Jr who is dying of leukemia.

“All five judges fired from San Francisco on Friday had relatively high rates of granting asylum cases, although San Francisco immigration judges as a whole have far higher rates of granting asylum compared to others nationwide.”

Yes, the agencies who went lawyer shopping should be prosecuted.

Also the lawyers who did sign off on it need to be prosecuted.

Knowingly being the fall-guy (gender neutral) should be worse than being the fall guy.

It’s a common theme for right-wing types:

I feel bad for the service members carrying out the drug boat killings the same way I feel bad for ICE agents fleeing into the private woods of NC in cammo during hunting season.

You cringe at the choice. You wish they had made better choices that led them to make that choice.

Then, consequences

I feel like shame itself isn't bad. But the justification of shame and too many of the methods to avoid shame are bad.

They tried that. The administrative burden became dumb. You spend all your time rating officers instead of doing your job.

It's just hard to assess potential honestly. Especially if they are people you work with daily.

While I'm not a Taoist or anything I very much like the concept of balance. Or at least aspiring for balance.

So while I very much hold the reskeeted statement below to be true. It's not without hope. Because the somewhat related truism is that

"The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed."

Slightly lesser known Simon Sinek pithy one liner.

Leaders get held accountable last.

I don't.

But I know it was too high.

And I know that you have three careers worth of examples to teach how ethics should inform decision making at the O6+ level.

And a lot of people are going to learn the hard way what moral injury is.

Huh. I was told this kinda thing wouldn't happen and not to worry when I was Stockdale Chair.
Honestly I try not to be petty but some people owe me an apology.

Anyone who uttered "four year churn" in the last two years needs to punch themselves in the face and retire immediately.

As one of the top two or three items they were gonna do?

Or as a byproduct of being a dem?

Because both sides don't like her. And anything that comes out of the Epstein files blows back on her.

And, frankly, her district will do what Trump says, clearly, so she's out.

he never looks at JD that way

Man. This one is gonna stick around.

I've had some bad days at work.

But I've never had a "get egg on the Commandants face" bad day.

Not just the initial drafting and routing. Whoever briefed him prior to his response message should get some attention as well.

I wonder if the Civillians being gone for the shutdown had an effect.

I'd like to see more Masts for shitty staff work.

1) @washingtonpost.com reported Thursday on a controversial policy downgrading how nooses and swastikas are labeled in the Coast Guard.

2) Admin officials attacked The Post, falsely alleging the reporting of "fake crap."

3) The CG said it would review policy language.

4) The CG reversed course.

The absolute hilarity of blasting "Walk This Way." At a preschool/elementary event in Florida.

What's next? Respect? Pink Pony Club?

“The FBI said the information came from a ‘sensitive source with excellent access…’”

This means they had a snitch.
