This Administration wants to repurpose our government to benefit the billionaires.

And only the billionaires.

That’s why Republicans shut down the government and want to raise your health care costs.

Trump’s Attack on Wind, Solar Cuts Deeper Than Industry Expected
President Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on wind and solar power from the rhetorical to the tangible, mounting a rapid-fire campaign that exceeds the industries’ worst fears.

There is a much too rarely mentioned but essential difference between Donald Trump and Abrego Garcia: Abrego Garcia is not a convicted felon.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Last month I went to Pittsburgh to learn what it's like for Pittsburgh International Airport employees to have a child care facility on-site when they go to work.

I published a story today trying to answer a bigger question: should employers step up on child care?

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.

Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.

And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!

AMAZING

I used `age` to encrypt and send a file to a coworker, who then struggled to decrypt it, because while they did run `age` on the file, they forgot to use the right command line arguments, and doubly encrypted the file.

This person is not dumb, but there is surprisingly little RTFM going on in tech.
