A reminder of the ongoing vestiges of the GWOT: this former Ranger turned CIA contractor was seriously wounded in a firefight last year, seemingly while advising the agency’s Somali surrogates, judging by the desert tiger stripe camo

Another unforced error by Mayor Johnson.
Dude either has the worst CoS, worst Aides, or exceptionally incompetent.
My read is he had no idea what he signed up for before the runoff and Gates and Periwinkle told him they’d help him, but just let his flop around like torn curtain.

Mayor Johnson appointee steps down hours after being named to city role amid controversy
There was turmoil as one of Mayor Brandon Johnson's appointments to a high-profile working group stepped down just hours after he was announced to the position. Some Jewish groups took issue with past actions from the appointee.

As a parent, Head Start is an amazing resource even if you’re a household of means. As someone less fortunate any cuts could be insanely impactful. Hopefully the funding continues.
Illinois Head Start officials reacted warily Wednesday to assurances from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the Trump administration supports continued funding for the early childhood development program, which supports about 28,000 low-income children and families in Illinois alone.

I’m conflicted in how I feel about Pres. Trump meeting with Al-Sharaa.
22 years ago he’s blowing up Americans in the Sunni Triangle.
But he overthrew Bashar.
Maybe this is one of those moments like GIs visiting Hanoi in the 90s.
Maybe I’m glad I’m out of the game, and just a “fan.”

This comes as nearly 90,000 VA loans are past due, with 33,000 of those already in foreclosure.
The VA Servicing Purchase program, or VASP, was put in place during the Biden admin after missteps by the VA left homeowners with no way to catch up on their VA-backed home loans if they fell behind.
