The majority of people in Washington fired by Microsoft this week are software engineers. This is reverberating through the ranks as it challenges the idea that SWEs are the most valuable class of workers that would be least likely to get cut.
Ironically, they are the easiest to replace with AI.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

They might as well label handguns the same thing. People use drugs because they want to use drugs; the solution to a drug problem is treatment, not trying to stop the supply. Drugs are also a little different than handguns because there's more social stigma around drugs than guns.

Reports that Schumer told his caucus that the GOP do not have the Senate votes to pass the House CR. Senator Whitehouse says he'll be speaking about it shortly on the Senate floor. Suggests the House CR is dead, with Senate Dems focusing on a 30 day short-term CR.

Donald Trump is the absolute worst of us. It’s one thing for Trump to say Schumer isn’t pro-Israel enough. That’s fair. It’s another thing completely for Trump to say Schumer isn’t Jewish. That’s a lie. An ugly, antisemitic lie.
Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian."
