Court extends restraining order to shield more feds from shutdown RIFs
At an emergency hearing, a federal judge clarified that her restraining order prohibiting RIFs also applies to unions the government has stopped recognizing.
A federal judge has moved to protect more US government employees from being fired during the ongoing shutdown amid a dispute between unions and the Trump administration about which members of the workforce were covered by a TRO the court issued earlier this week. federalnewsnetwork.com/govern...

As we prepared for the probable reality that SCOTUS will overturn the VRA, below is a MUST READ article that beautifully illustrates how competence, innovation, collaboration, and coordination allowed the allied forces to defeat the axis powers in World War II.

Donald Trumpβs Dream Palace of Puffery
The Pentagonβs ban on real journalism looks to be a preview of where the White House is headed.
In President Trump's second term, "it was no longer enough to call the real news fake; now it's the fake news that gets to displace actual journalists in order to playact the real thing." - Susan Glaser on the Kremlinization of the White House press pool www.newyorker.com/news/letter...

Top admiral steps down abruptly amid drug boat strikes
Adm. Alvin Holsey oversees Southern Command, where US military strikes against alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers at sea have ramped up.
This is what a top US military officer objecting to illegal orders looks like.
Adm. Alvin Holey is the head of Southern Command, which covers the Caribbean, where Trump has ordered 5 deadly strikes on civilian boats (and counting).
