Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Over at @lawfare.bsky.social, I have a new post examining the legal foundations (or lack thereof) of the deferred resignation program (i.e., the buyout). I conclude with some thoughts about who may or may not take the offer.

Breaking Down OPM’s ‘Fork in the Road’ Email to Federal Workers
Though the subject line borrows a phrase from Musk’s Twitter email, the federal government is not a private company, and its HR policies are arcane and legally binding.

#FaveGigs24 Byrne's Night at Rough Trade East in July. Had way too much fun at this hipster cabaret show celebrating Talking Heads and Scotland. The beauty is that it manages to be both irreverent and reverential simultaneously

@edstern.bsky.social Hi Ed. My daughters friend is a newly graduated programmer. He is keen to work at Splash Damage. Can he make a general application as the associate position we saw yesterday isn’t on the website. Any tips. Ran. X
