The dog erroneously thinks it’s dinnertime. It takes weeks to get her back on schedule when the clock goes back. I hate this so much.

The Pentagon officials, in a classified briefing, acknowledged they don’t know the identities of the people they’re killing and can’t meet the evidentiary burden to prosecute survivors.

we can't address the housing crisis because we're actually investing in increased inequality

Yonah Freemark @yonahfreemark.com · 3d

The US federal government's spending on housing—directly through the budget, or through tax expenditures—amounts to more than $400 billion a year.

Only about 1/4 of that goes to low-income renters. The majority is spent on subsidizing higher-income homeowners.

Think federal government housing aid is focused on low-income families & largely funded by the Department of Housing & Urban Development?

Think again.

In new work @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, we provide a comprehensive account of the US government's many housing supports, which go far beyond HUD 🏘️

How Does the Federal Government Support Housing?

The federal government supports the US housing market through dozens of initiatives administered by several agencies—in total, spending hundreds of billions …

He's my age. I was in law school at the time he got the tattoo. Millennials were not as sheltered at age 23 as compared to today's 23-year-olds, so definitely no pass.

This is dumb for a bunch of reasons, the most basic of which is that the 20-person-in-a-house thing (in my experience) involves American citizens trafficking/otherwise taking advantage of immigrants, and is a crime - not something that is just going to pop up in 99% of neighborhoods.

I personally wouldn't want someone to represent me in the Senate if they didn't have the foresight to ensure that what they were permanently putting on their body in CROATIA of all places wasn't a Nazi symbol.

I called Schiff's office on Monday and spoke to someone and railed against him confirming ANY nominees, especially while these people are dismantling the executive branch. I can't understand him.

This is my friend. She works in the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at HUD. She and 169 of her fair housing colleagues received RIF notices on 10/10 despite their work being statutorily mandated and the office already being down 50% bc of resignations and retirements.

Adam Klasfeld @klasfeldreports.com · 5d

An Air Force combat veteran said that she'd "never gone through anything as traumatizing as what I am now experiencing" since getting a so-called RIF (layoff) notice.

A judge who BLOCKED Trump/Vought's mass firings read this passage in court today.

Story www.allrisenews.com/p/afge-injun...

"I have worked in government for a long time. Prior to my current job, I worked at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and before that I was in the United States Air Force. During all that time, including during my combat deployment, I have never gone through anything as traumatizing as what I am now experiencing."

Velchik repeats, with a completely straight face, that Trump's reality TV slogan "You're fired" is eloquent.

Illston imitates the slogan, and Velchik says that her impression is better.

For the DOJ, attorney Michael Velchik argues: "It's not arbitrary and capricious. It's good policy."

Trump is known for his "eloquence" in telling employees: "You're fired," Velchik says.

"Eloquence?" Judge Illston repeats, incredulously.
