Trump threatened to sue journalists, authors, and book publishers who use anonymous sources. Granting certain sources anonymity is a common journalistic practice, especially when sources fear retribution.

Trump just erased the only nationwide police misconduct database.
Launched in Dec. 2023, it tracked disciplinary records across 90 federal agencies. Now? Gone. The White House won’t say why, but we know—accountability is bad for the people Trump protects.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent.

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.

the #1 free way you can support an author is by leaving ratings or reviews of their books – it's important not just to help sell other copies, it helps convince publishers to pick up future books. If you like my stuff, chuck me a rating and you'll be doing me a huge solid.
