I continue to think this story deserves wall-to-wall coverage. (It's front page on WaPo right now, but the NYT's long story on this is now buried at the bottom of its US News section, and the LAT is running the AP story below "More Headlines" in its politics section.)
This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave.

Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead
A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.

In these weird and terrible times, it feels strange to announce things, but I made something I think will bring JOY! Do YOU want to solve a mystery? What if someone handed you the file with a sealed solution in the back...

Social media strategy for 2025:
1. Be more unhinged on Bluesky
2. Somehow keep my job
3. Be less afraid when someone in the office asks "Do you run the Bluesky account?"
4. Promote our products at least once
5. Beyond Hot Italian Sausage
6. Already did number 5, nailed it
