So now I have received emails from the state DOT, the county engineer, and the township, indicating that lowering speed limits on roads where people could be walking, or biking, is not warranted. How do they expect people to feel safe walking/biking, especially in a carcentric suburb?
He allegedly said "he needed help transferring data from a thumb drive “to his personal computer so that he could ‘sanitize’ the data before using it at [the company.] ... [and] that he expected to receive a presidential pardon ... ." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
Washington state is about to ban noncompete agreements.
The state's House and Senate have both signed the bill, and it's headed to the governor's desk.
Washington would join a short list of states that prohibit almost all noncompetes.
I remember when it was big news that Alaska's prison budget became bigger than the budget for the University of Alaska. Now, the prison budget is over $500 million per year, a record high: alaskabeacon.com/2026/03/10/a... #akleg #Alaska
Even his mother said God help us if he ever gets into politics.
it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war
of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school.
if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
The Trump administration is treating disabled veterans like criminals.
“After the nuclear disaster, some residents had to flee by bus, and animals were not allowed aboard.
"There were elderly people in tears, asking if someone could take their pet.”
"If I'm still going… it's because I carry with me the distress these animals experienced. That's what keeps me going."

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Staying and corrupting it from within is far more lucrative for their leaders.
Can you imagine the money pouring in from Russia, China, and the United States -
Everyone who wants to destroy the European Union?
A for attitude.
However, we will come back to this problem as long as Hungary and Slovakia refuse to leave the EU.
A Better World Isn’t a Dream. It’s a Choice.
And we’re currently choosing poorly.

While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts.
Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.
Not you.
The 2026 Arctic Winter Games kicked off in Whitehorse last night! Youth athletes from around the circumpolar region (uh, minus Russia) are here for the week. I'll be covering the event for local radio, but stay tuned for a few pics and videos here too. Maybe I can inject a little joy in the process.

It's also strange to describe this message as having been "intercepted," as ABC does. Anyone with a shortwave radio can listen to V32. Interception suggests some clandestine intelligence method. Maybe this suggests the ABC story is not about a numbers station. Tho the story sure reads that way.
ABC reports: US officials alerted law enforcement to "communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as 'an operational trigger.'" The origin of the broadcast (aka V32) has been very hard to pin down. Possible US gov't has determined this, but... abcnews.com/US/iran-acti...
