Pentagon removes, then restores webpage on Jackie Robinson's military career
The Pentagon ordered a digital refresh to remove content featuring DEI, which has led to the removal in some cases of pages recognizing significant figures in the U.S. military's history.

Honestly this Reuters article is offensively stupid and is a good example of what Ds get for playing within these narratives with reporters trained with GOP rules.
This article, typically, acts as tho the issue is whether Dems want to shut down the govt as opposed to House GOP intentionally ignoring all their red lines and jamming them. Still, suggest Sen Wyden is voting yes. www.reuters.com/world/us/con...

If they are “confused” then it’s time to rethink the intellectual soundness of the nation’s top business leaders.

I don’t think they’re confused.
More than 100 of the nation’s top business leaders will hear directly from President Donald Trump on Tuesday as confusion mounts on Wall Street — along with fears that the president’s trade war could shake confidence in the stability of the U.S. economy.
CEOs are confused by Trump trade war, deepening economic unease
Trump will address business leaders on Tuesday as stock markets continue sliding over concerns about his tariff policies.

a side issue that struck me while reporting on Indiana banning student IDs for voting: how freaking strict Indiana is in tossing ballots when you make an error!

at the sole polling place on campus at IU Bloomington, 300 people cast provisional ballots in November... & every single one was rejected!
Indiana Republicans Move to Ban Student IDs for Voting - Bolts
The new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, would make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.

I never want a single media outlet to ever take seriously a single current Republican politician claiming to be serious about national security or the challenge of a rising China ever again.
DoD terminates Minerva grants and State Dept eliminates Title VIII summer language institutes on the same day. Coming on the heels of COVID, there’s going to be gaping holes in international expertise in the US for a generation.

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.

Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?
NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs
