The New York Times reports Jonathan Braun—a violent felon with ties to Jared Kushner, whose sentence Trump commuted—has been sent back to prison after new charges, including assaulting a 3-year-old. In court, he ranted about his lawyer and flipped off spectators. His fifth arrest.

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked:
50th in classroom funding
49th in starting teacher pay
7th highest in gun deaths
6th highest in maternal mortality
Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.

The Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, went to pay his respects to the servicemembers and civilians lost in Pearl Harbor on “June 7th, 1941.”
It looks good, except Pearl Harbor happened on December 7th.
It seems Mr. Phelan skipped that part of history class.
Only the best people, right?

If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from reporting on the current DOGE collection of govt data, it is that the people who’ve previously spent their careers carefully handling this information believe there is almost no limit to how it could be abused (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Trump said he was not joking about the possibility of seeking a third term, claiming a lot of people wanted him to pursue it. While he emphasized he was focused on the current, he hinted at the existence of methods to make it happen.

Trump just refused to rule out seeking an unconstitutional third term, claiming “there are methods” for him to stay in office.
“I’m not joking... A lot of people would like me to.”

My cousin also has a company w/ government contracts. He & his wife are retired Navy.
They will have to lay off 100+ people soon. Each of those people are downhill from federal jobs, but all connected to their towns, schools, local organizations & will be taking away $$.

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.
