An informative read.

Interesting to note the DOJ’s argument:

The Justice Department argued that the president has “inherent constitutional authority” to decide “how best to manage the Executive Branch, including whom to hire and remove…”

It smacks of authoritative rule.
A federal judge ordered the Office of Personnel Management to rescind directives that initiated the mass firing of probationary workers across the government, ruling that the terminations were probably illegal, as a group of labor unions argued in court.

A federal judge ruled that the terminations at agencies including the Department of Defense were probably illegal.

I'm a reporter at NBC News and I'm interested in speaking with people who are familiar with the specific technical details of onboarding DOGE staff at the federal agency level — USAID or CFPB or wherever. You can reach me on Signal at: davidingram.77. I can honor requests for anonymity.

IYKYK how painful this is.
I suppose the good news is that only got 3/4 of the way around this table runner before I figured out that I sandwiched this incorrectly.

He’ll, that a-hole could LLP easily establish an endowment to provide for millions of American’s advanced education - and still be the wealthiest humans.
If Elon really thought the problem was not enough qualified American workers, he'd be advocating for higher education to be available to anyone who wants it and can do the work.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.”

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet.

Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

You better be planning for your ☠️ for the ☠️ of your parents and siblings because your family doesn’t need to suffer with probate, bills, and legal bs after you selfishly left it all to them to handle because it was too uncomfortable to do.
