given how unpopular Trump is, it’s insane that civil society/universities/law firms are still asking themselves “how do I stay on Trump’s good side” rather than “how do I avoid facing consequences for complying with Trump’s illegal demands”
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November

Thankful for family and friends. Especially thankful for our free press, without which we are truly screwed. “The media” isn’t perfect but it is crucial, and in Chicago this fall, it’s been essential. Thank you to everyone who puts on their socks every morning and asks important questions.

Alex is right—and the data theft is an ongoing calamity
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

DHS claimed that on September 26, a DHS officer claimed that they were forced to deploy riot munitions because protestors were "becoming increasingly hostile."
In fact, "the [Body Worn Camera] video shows that the protesters were simply standing there when agents first deployed any force."
