Dating back to at least the Reagan administration, the government has considered the details of military operations to be classified. On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that a criminal inquiry into the sharing of military plans in an unsecured chat was unlikely. nyti.ms/4lnyhr9

What an excellent visualization of a excellent point that many have become numb to
Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.
History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

If Columbia complies, then and only then will the Trump admin “open a conversation about immediate and long-term structural reforms” at the university. To be clear: Even if Columbia submits to this extortion, it doesn’t get federal funding back. It just sets itself up for more extortion later.

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
