“It is not too late to salvage the agency and its mission. The agency’s partner organizations are hanging on and its overseas missions seem to have remained mostly intact, for now. The laws establishing U.S.A.I.D. in federal statute and its budget appropriation remain in force and unaltered.”

It actually IS a big deal that Russell Brand who's under investigation in the UK for multiple sexual assaults, hangs out with Kennedy. Back in the day, anyone accused of rape was castigated by society, not embraced * The girls did not want anything other than justice. * It's not a shakedown.

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

Gee, I hope none of our global adversaries realizes that we have a totally unqualified Defense Secretary and are about to have a Joint Chiefs Chairman who doesn't meet the statutory criteria for appointment unless waived. I guess that's merit hiring for 'ya.

Did you know? In the Victorian era, it became quite popular among socialites to have photographs taken depicting their heads removed from their bodies. This was a photographic trick popularized by Samuel Kay Balbirnie. Do you find this off-putting or fascinating? #Victorian #history

I absolutely adore the handwriting style of Victorians. Spencerian script was a style taught in America from 1850-1920. If you want to learn it, I'd recommend buying a quill pen with an ink well and saving this pdf manual (1866). 👇 #Victorian #history dn790004.ca.archive.org/0/items/cu31...

Coffinfish (Chaunacidae) always strike me as the world’s most unenthusiastic fish. Pouts. Inflates like a stressed-out balloon. Uses tiny feet to shuffle along the seafloor instead of swimming. Basically the Eeyore of the deep sea. 🦑 🌊 #Oceanography #marinelife #invertebrate #SciOutreach

Already bruised by the Trump administration’s first round of firings of federal workers, employees at NIH faced more bad news. NIH’s 27 institute directors were told this week that the agency must cut staffing back to 2019 levels, or at least 10% below its 2024 tally. scim.ag/3EP8gjy
