As someone who works with (and contributed to) USWDS and several of it's agency-specific forks, the NDS is truly an insult to the incredible work of teams at @alt18f.bsky.social, @altusds.altgov.info, GSA and others who have spent a decade creating one of the best design systems in the world.

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

So the order for the US military to launch these deadly Caribbean boat strikes was straightforwardly illegal under US and international law, immoral under long established standards, and on top of that, terrible strategy.
Not maybe. Not got to check with a lawyer. Unambiguous. Blatant. Deliberate.

The journalist who got this scoop and reported it is a former U.S. Army infantry soldier and Iraq War vet
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
