I know a lot of folks are stressed about what is happening in LA (myself included) and don’t know what to do. And lots of folks want to help but aren’t able to or comfortable physically protesting.
Here’s my thinking…(a short thread)

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

Marines on our streets. The governor threatened with arrest.
This moment echoes the darkest chapters of history - abroad, AND here at home. This is what a manufactured crisis looks like.

Former US Digital Service engineer Elizabeth Schweinsburg is one of the great ones. Always willing to help with security issues, a great interviewer, and an absolute powerhouse for security in government. This award is well-deserved!

⚠️ Roughly 500 Marines from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles. It’s not clear when they would actually deploy to Los Angeles.

To be absolutely clear, the deployment of Marines into #LA and the threat of arresting Newsom is a marked escalation and a worsening constitutional crisis.

@kevinroose.com it makes sense you’d have Sahil on Hard Fork but the way you asked about the “Office Space interviews” as if they didn’t really happen was kind of infuriating. They did. You just haven’t bothered to have anyone from USDS or 18F on to ask. Maybe fix that. cc: @caseynewton.bsky.social

SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained.
The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

@altusds.altgov.info maybe an article about how a lot of the offices cut cost zero dollars is in order?
I want to point out two things about yesterday's HHS cuts
1- a FDA office was cut that's completely funded by tobacco settlement dollars. The cut saved the US $0 but cost scientists their jobs & will result in unsafe/unregulated products on store shelves
2- state & local health depts will be harmed

Good to see a rejection of the right and Trumpism continue around the globe. May it continue until it reaches us.
TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

Story time. Have you ever wondered why the CDC is headquartered in Atlanta? The answer in one word: MALARIA. CDC started to prevent the spread of malaria, so we went where the mosquitoes were.
Now, the division that houses our founding mission has an uncertain future.
