There was nothing confidential in it, and it was super useful for working with gov HR data. cc: @digiphile.bsky.social @jacobharr.is

A chart starting from the 15th century and going to present shows vertical lines representing the age of each pope during their papacy, each ending at their death, or in two cases, resignation. Francis, at the far right, is highlighted as the second-oldest pope in the time period.
Pope Francis, 88, lived to be the second-oldest pontiff in modern history. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

It was. Although the Government has refused to provide the particular details, all evidence suggests that during the short window that the Court was adjourned, two removal flights took off from Harlingen — one around 5:25 p.m. and the other at about 5:45 p.m. See ECF No. 21 (Resp. to Mar. 16 Notice) at 3–4 (relying on flight-tracking data for GlobalX Flights 6143, 6145, and 6122); see also Marianne LeVine et al., White House Official Says 137 Immigrants Deported Under Alien Enemies Act, Wash. Post (Mar. 16, 2025), https://perma.cc/U3NY-V3AS (comparing flight-tracking data with planes visible in three-minute video posted online by President of El Salvador and reposted by President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio); Joyce Sohyun Lee & Kevin Schaul, Deportation Flights Landed After Judge Said Planes Should Turn Around, Wash.

22 percent say tariffs will help, 21 percent have no impact and 57 percent say tariffs will hurt. “My industry deals in copper, aluminum and steel. All these come from overseas partners.” “Higher costs affect our bottom line and that could affect sales, which could trigger a round of layoffs.”

Both media are perfect for #infographics explanations
