Remember that @dcdoes.bsky.social professional development event that looked a lot more like a party (a go-go band, acrobats, DJ EZ Street as emcee)?

Some of the spending for that event (and others) violated local rules against using public funds for entertainment and food, according to the OIG.

Why do you do social media like he might cut your funding? He already has!

He should write his own check to bail out the farmers, he’s already skimmed more than that

Someone hurt him at his 8 year old birthday party and he’s been chasing that goody bag ever since. FIFA recognized that.

I don't think they can say that which is why they don't. Some of them don't have a problem with what he is saying. The entire caucus should have been up in arms on their COLLEAGUE Ilhan Omar's behalf. They haven't been.

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

Part 1: My Life Is a Lie How a Broken Benchmark Quietly Broke America

This was a mind-blowing read. It seems preposterous to suggest that $140k should be the poverty line for a family of four, but the math checks out.

Also: the current metric for calculating poverty is appalling.

Top military lawyer raised legal concerns about boat strikes The lawyer at U.S. Southern Command, which oversees the operations against alleged drug-smuggling boats near Venezuela, disagreed that the strikes are legal and was overruled, according to six sources...

β€œThe JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”
