If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

First the Super Bowl.

Now the Daytona 500.

He's not a real president -- he just plays one on TV.

And it's costing the American people TENS OF MILLIONS in extra, unnecessary, wasteful spending.

Maybe THAT is what "DOGE" should be cutting?

This. Especially Senate Republicans.
The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

On Mon our team will be in court seeking an add'l pause of the civil service "Fork in the Road Directive" & buyout. A judge blocked the deadline last week in response to our suit, which seeks to pause the directive until Trump admin comes into compliance w/ the law. For updates: DemocracyForward.org

Co-sign. Your phone number can get released unexpectedly if you send it to someone who is FOIA’d or sunshined. Academics, that includes emails to state university colleagues. Nuisance FOIAs are exploding. Send signal usernames.
Big ups to @signal.org @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for allowing usernames instead of phone numbers last year (signal.org/blog/phone-n...).

Washington basically runs on Signal right now and that one change has made reporting and whistleblowing way more private and secure.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Dude, we’re recognizing that change and variation are natural in language so we’re trying to keep our publications grounded in the details of current usage so they can calmly and dispassionately offer information about modern English later if you want to pull up.
