New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Well that’s neat.
SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

This is absolutely insane. The consequences of this will be long and far reaching.
Y'all: This is devastating for universities. Imagine you have a colony of research animals and can't re-order the food. Or you are a grad student on grant funding who lives paycheck-to-paycheck (also know as a student on grant funding). wapo.st/4gfgcHQ

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure
The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:
"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"
The national archives is still doing its job for now.

The people who are saying musk was just sending love from his heart, are the same people that are going to be saying we deserve it, when they start detaining people who speak out against them. This is just the beginning.
