“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said
Oct. 15, 2025 PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION STATEMENT Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

Listen to how casually Justice Gorsuch presents as fact the idea that remedying racial gerrymandering requires racial discrimination.

If they offer the compact to everyone, and a bunch of universities agree to the deal, how does any of them get preferential treatment?

Journal des Luxus und der Moden, 1792-1793. Fashion plate showing late 18th century female and male fashions. One woman in a white gown, another in a redingote, and a man wearing a jacket and waistcoat with trousers. Collection @rijksmuseum.bsky.social #FashionPlateFriday #dresshistory #18thcentury
Detail of fashion plate. Full description in next picture. Description from the Rijksmuseum (with additions by me): Man in a stippled brown coat, unbuttoned, showing a white waistcoat with blue embroidery underneath, and wearing stippled beige trousers and brown boots. Accessories: breloque, gloves, hat and walking stick in hand. Two women stand beside him. Woman on the left: white gown with green and yellow floral motif (looks like printed cotton). A polka-dotted black fichu around the neck. On her head: a pink hat decorated with green ribbon and sheer veil covering half the face. In her hand: a walking stick that can also be used as a parasol. Woman on the right: red and yellow striped redingote on a pointed green bodice with red laces and white skirt, white fichu tucked into the neckline of the bodice. Wearing a black stippled yellow hat decorated with purple ribbon. Print from the fashion magazine "Journal des Luxus und der Moden," published by Friedrich Justin Bertuch and Georg Melchior Kraus, Weimar, 1786-1826.

Black families tend to have strong preferences against nursing homes, usually driven by concerns of inadequate care. Seeing that Black nursing home patients have significantly worse outcomes, and that they are driven by *within-nursing home* differences in care, confirms this suspicion.

Nursing home value-added for black patients is 30 percent lower than for white patients, with most of the gap reflecting differences within, rather than across, nursing homes, from Liran Einav, Amy Finkelstein, @nealemahoney.bsky.social, and James C. Okun www.nber.org/papers/w34324

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
