Another of these mysterious Black American "suicide" hangings. The family said the victim didn't have a car and lived in a completely different city, but the police insist signs point to suicide, just like the other cases. It's suspicious as hell.

Americans oppose the change to 'Department of War' and it's not especially close. @robertralston.bsky.social and I found that relatively few think the change will make America safer, focus the department's mission, or make it more lethal.
Trump and Hegseth's "Department of War" rebranding is more than just a name. It signals their vision of a force that disdains legality, as if whoever commits the most war crimes wins.

But as new research by @doncasler.bsky.social and @robertralston.bsky.social shows, the change is very unpopular,
Most Americans oppose the ’Department of War’ rebranding
Even 42% of Republicans are no fans of the change.

"Last year saw a doubling of Americans who were hospitalized or killed by contaminated food outbreaks ... Despite that, the new funding bill blocks federal rules designed to trace sources of outbreaks, and to prevent contamination of produce."
Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.
