At the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, the soil still holds the remains of thousands of Americans who crossed an ocean to fight tyranny. Among them were African American soldiers men who faced Nazi bullets abroad and Jim Crow laws at home.

Judge Halts DOGE Access to Treasury Payment Systems
The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by 19 attorneys general accusing the president of failing to faithfully execute the nation’s laws when he let DOGE comb through federal computer systems.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
