DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

I got pissed off at friends sharing a meme and I modified it, with apologies to Mr. Rogers, a great Pittsburgher.

Bernstein said school officials should rely on two long-standing federal laws as their guiding principles for denying immigration authorities access to students and their records. The first is the U.S. Supreme Court’s Plyler v. Doe decision, which made clear that Texas and other states cannot deny a child an education based on their citizenship status or take actions that would discourage them from enrolling in school β€” like conducting immigration enforcement activities on campus. Meanwhile, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, ensures that schools can protect children’s personal information in student records.

The time between President Roosevelt’s executive order and the first arrival to the Manzanar War Relocation Center was 30 days. If Mr. Trump issues his own order on Day 1, as he’s vowed, the first people could enter detention camps by February.
