Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

Today I started my day reading how a brilliant lllustrator’s career has now ended due to every marketing client she has ever worked with has now switched to GenAi.

Hegseth Comes for the Lawyers A new review could consolidate the ranks of JAGs, targeting those who act as legal guardrails.

Pete Hegseth says he wants to overhaul the way the military’s lawyers are organized for efficiency, but some current and former JAGs told Sarah Fitzpatrick and Missy Ryan that they’re deeply suspicious of the secretary’s intentions:

Thousands of tech workers have left Israel in recent years. 3 of them told us war wasn't their only reason. As Israel's tech sector started growing in the '90s, so too did the number of its tech workers and its reliance on the industry. War, politics, and the cost of living are driving people out.

USDA lost 24K workers under Trump, hurting critical resources for farmers The Trump administration's federal workforce cuts shrunk U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies that inspect produce, provide conservation resources and collect data on crops and livestock. It's crea...

The USDA lost 24,000 employees since January 2025. That's breathtaking.

On top of reckless and chaotic trade wars and foreign beef imports, the Trump Administration has continuously left our farmers and producers in the lurch—it has to stop.

TRUMP'S STOLEN VALOUR

TO BE CLEAR: Trump was sent to a private military school for boys lacking discipline NOT one of the official US Military Academies

Trump is a 5x draft dodger who is trying to bamboozle Americans about his "service" and steal valour from those who actually served!

Trump DOJ expands crackdown on overseas voters over ID The latest outreach confirms that the message California officials received last month was not isolated.

Emails obtained by Democracy Docket show the Justice Dept contacting multiple states about overseas voting compliance ahead of the 2026 midterms, emphasizing ID verification rules that could complicate voting for Americans abroad. Fucking bastards.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vacci...

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines.

The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.

Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

Using a dead soldier’s coffin as a fundraising prop. Fucking despicable.👇

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.

Why would anyone sign up to serve when we treat them like this afterwards?

Pete Hegseth’s Worrisome Press Briefing If you want to believe the Iran war is going as planned, don’t listen to the defense secretary.

Pete Hegseth is hoping the administration’s friends in the media “crack down on reporting that casts an unflattering light on the administration’s behavior”—but that’s not the point they’d emphasize if the war were going smoothly, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues:

The Russians might want to be careful or Trump might get rid of even more sanctions on them.

• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa. Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really

Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.

@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb
