They’re all on the naughty list.

I didn’t know quite how bad the firings of senior female staff were in the U.S. military. Then I read this article. Informative. Chilling. Mordant.

So *go to the library now*.

This is not an answer to "I don't wanna pay for a periodical." It's the *solution* to not paying for a periodical.

Exactly

Oh yes

So…in 2011 the Justice Department confessed error to the Supreme Court that it had misrepresented the factual basis underlying the rationale presented to the Court to justify Japanese internment. As in, that is the official position of the U.S. government. Are they going to retract that, too?

A gentle reminder:

I don’t watch FOX News

Workday gets contract from US agency behind DOGE's staff cuts without competitive tender The federal HR agency at the heart of billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk's efforts to slash the federal workforce says it has awarded a contract for a new cloud-based HR platform to Workday without seeking bids from rivals.

So, if I’m reading this right: They gutted the office that runs the government’s award-winning, in-house HR and staffing software, and now they’ve inked a sole-source, no-bid contract so that a private company on proprietary software can do what the office of civil servants did on in-house software

Another Gift From Trump to the World’s Dictators Russia and China are surely thrilled by the president’s decision to close Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Marti, and Radio Free Asia.

I’m pretty sure SS knew my aunt was dead before the funeral home picked her body up from the hospital.

It Was an Ambush Today marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy.

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us.
