My DoD buddy and I have spent all day baffled about this and how little coverage it’s gotten.

I’m not trying to compare them professionally. There’s just a vibe to him that always takes me to AS.

It's so funny that people copy this, given that DOGE was basically the least effective domestic US policy initiative of all time.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

I’ve seen three different groups of NG just this morning in DC. Doing what? Standing or walking around. My tax dollars are better spent elsewhere.

The Trump administration sees National Guard deployments as a necessary protection for federal law enforcement in dangerous times, Marc Novicoff writes. “Taxpayers should see them as incredibly expensive”:
The National Guard Deployments Are Very, Very Expensive
If the Trump administration wants to reduce crime, it picked an inefficient way to do it.

I love it when a client gets so excited to tell me about their new gig. I know way too many people who saw their careers ended without a second thought. I love seeing my people find their new thing.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I think because of the secondary definition of prosecution, which is to “continue with (a course of action) with a view to its completion.” In some civil investigations, I’ve seen failure to prosecute as meaning that the filer hasn’t taken steps towards completion of their claim.

They're actually gold painted Home Depot items

The items from the Home Depot link below in a picture in the oval office but with gold paint on them. Cheap tacky trash
