From Status newsletter: I've learned that in the lead-up to Hegseth's upcoming trip to Singapore, the Pentagon quietly attempted to block CNN producer Haley Britzky from serving as the designated television pooler. Because space on such trips is limited, the press corps designates a small group of reporters to travel with the secretary and share information with the broader press. Britzky had been slated for the role. But Pentagon officials- apparently irked by some of her tweets, despite their innocuous nature -relayed to CNN brass that she was not welcome. The move was a plain act of retribution, a targeted attempt by the Pentagon to sideline a journalist for doing her job in a way that it did not like. It triggered immediate backlash. Reporters from other news organizations expressed outrage, with other outlets indicating that if Britzky was excluded, they too would pull out of the trip —effectively denying Hegseth the press coverage he relies on for visibility. "They don't get to decide who covers them," one correspondent told me. After a brief standoff, I'm told the Pentagon relented. Britzky will travel with Hegseth as originally planned. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment and a Pentagon spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

This is how you do it. Good on the Pentagon Press Association for standing up and standing with a colleague.

What a world we live in…

Well, part of the egg. The egg contains other materials and fluid in addition to the embryo. (But I assume in this case the government did not distinguish)

An embryo is part of the egg. Think chicken embryos. Seeds also have embryos.

I remain interested in knowing whether - off the top of his head - Trump could name the three branches of government and their functions.

NEW: Fourth Circuit shoots down the Trump administration’s efforts to appeal Judge Xinis’s order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

“We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”

Hol up, Anna what do you get when I credit my contribution to you? 🤔

I am absolutely begging reporters who obtain internal letters, emails, memos, or recordings to PUBLISH THE PRIMARY SOURCE IN FULL

The chief of the watchdog agency that protects federal workers and whistleblowers, Hampton Dellinger, was one of the first to be fired by President Trump.

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world.

In all fairness this isn’t true… there was the Cessna that crashed in Virginia in 2023, for example

Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour: “It has become ever more apparent that, to our president the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals, the rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain."

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Foreign Strongmen Cheer as Musk Dismantles U.S. Aid Agency Leaders in Russia, Hungary and El Salvador welcomed the Trump administration’s assault on U.S.A.I.D., which many authoritarians have seen as a threat.

There goes my proposal on apoplastic barriers…😒

Literally thousands of jobs and an untold amount of worthy projects depends on the interpretation of this guidance.

Whoever wrote it—and I have no idea who that may be—an American hero.

1 isn’t really true across all red states. Many, many land grants have invested significantly in recent years, especially in STEM/agriculture.

Ex: UGA- new med school, new poultry building. Clemson- new vet school, new engineering building. Miss State- new engineering building.

**Dick Cheney** was 92-0!

This evening in the US Capitol, I was proud to stand with Representatives Eric Swalwell, Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan and DC police officer Danny Hodges and speak out against the pardons given to domestic terrorists.

Attached is a portion of my remarks.

Ohhh that makes sense why they aren’t there. I see that for the other congresses now.

I was looking back at some of the ACA fights and was hoping to just text search. I can scrape transcripts from YouTube. Thanks for the help!

Any House experts know where I could find Rules committee transcripts from 2017-2018? They aren’t on the GPO website for that specific Congress and I couldn’t find them on the majority or minority websites. @kristin-wilson.bsky.social @ringwiss.bsky.social

Rev. Budde did what a preacher ought to do. She did not personally attack Trump in any way. She used scripture to bring conviction to his heart. Her message was essentially a paraphrase of Micah 6:8, which is pinned in my bio. Trump has evil in his heart. Evil cannot stand the light of God’s love.

Call log showing multiple calls from the dept of justice

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

National security is also damaged by the publication of classified information. Former National Security Advisor John R. Bolton published a memoir for monetary gain after he was terminated from his White House position in 2019. The book was rife with sensitive information drawn from his time in government. The memoir’s reckless treatment of sensitive information undermined the ability of future presidents to request and obtain candid advice on matters of national security from their staff. *Publication also created a grave risk that classified material was publicly exposed.*

The guy who stored a nuclear document in his basement under bubble wrap and a Christmas pillow signed an EO attacking SOMEONE ELSE for mishandling classified information.

Trump will pull U.S. out of Paris climate agreement The agreement was meant to ensure global cooperation in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

We now join Libya, Iran, and Yemen as the only countries in the world unwilling to prioritize expanded access to cheaper, cleaner energy.

The president wasted no time in embarrassing the United States on the global stage.

My response to Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor’s Center:

In a “Truth” Social post, Trump says he doesn’t want anyone who worked for certain individuals in his administration.

Remember that Mike Pence is on this list for only one reason: He refused to help Trump overturn the 2020 election. That’s it. That’s the only reason.
