In Wilcox (the Trump emergency application about whether he can fire without cause members of the NLRB and MSPB), Chief Justice Roberts's "administrative stay" (allowing Trump to fire them) has now been in place for 19 days. That's quite a long time for what's supposed to be a temporary order...

China has over 100,000 people in their military, civilian, cyber, and academic sectors whose work is directly or indirectly focused on gaining advantage over the United States. Trump wants to rule by absolute power. He believes that he alone can outthink and outmaneuver those 100,000 planners.

This beautiful picture is from Toronto. This week. Not 2022, not 2021. 2025. Covid is still ongoing. It never ended. If your event doesn't have a mask requirement it isn't accessible or inclusive & puts others at risk.

The Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, went to pay his respects to the servicemembers and civilians lost in Pearl Harbor on “June 7th, 1941.” It looks good, except Pearl Harbor happened on December 7th. It seems Mr. Phelan skipped that part of history class. Only the best people, right?
