SATURDAY

After crafting and sending my message back to Mom and Marilyn, I looked up from the bench to the slides. the ladders. the swings. 

They must have adventured elsewhere.

In searching for my people, I find 
the most beautiful reds on turning leaves. I find
the fountain, soothing the soul with its drops whispering back into the lake from whence the came. I find 
the laughter of other children enjoying the cool breeze. the warm sunlight. the monkey bars. I find 
the wind pushing the water along, creating sparkling movement. ripples and light. 
Then. I find 
my people: holding hands across the bridge, taking it all in, enjoying everything 
they found.

Former Pentagon official warns department's dysfunction could topple Hegseth β€œThe last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon,” John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson, wrote in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece.

β€œThe Pentagon is in β€˜total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy.

Nonetheless, holy shit.

What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salariesβ€”sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be β€œtedious” and β€œcompensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

We should all be outraged that the people who have dedicated their lives to protecting and interpreting our most precious natural and historic resources are being treated so callously by our federal government. I am sick to my stomach.

Could the lasting impact of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show be the return of bell bottoms? A varsity jacket referenced his own career, and a chain inspired some questions. But the cut of his jeans was the biggest surprise of the night, writes our fashion reporter. nyti.ms/4k5sBkX
