SCOTUS holds that the EPA *cannot* order cities to maintain acceptable water quality standards by limiting the discharge—usually sewage—that they dump into nearby bodies of water (like oceans and bays). The four women justices, dissenting, say that's ridiculous. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Having linked large govt data across systems in a data warehouse, NOT quick/easy, putting aside privacy issues. HUGE job - much analysis/business knowledge needed. Inconsistencies mostly reflect poor data quality, NOT fraud
Only idiots think “just match”

If I was in there as a career staffer, my goal for survival would be to make sure I was NOT the person handing over data to DHS - even if I was forced to cull it. I would insist that Trump replacements do the passing of data. They would then have to deal with the court consequences after the fact.

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.

It was a damn good show. Bit of a respite from a very long week. Good laughter and good tunes.
