Our service members are among the best and bravest our nation has to offer. They are patriots who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. To demean thousands of transgender service members' sacrifice by removing them is cruel and stupid – and makes us all less safe.

New from me: DOGE is already causing chaos in Antarctica. Daily life at US-run Antarctic stations has been disrupted, and scientists don’t know if their research will be able to continue, how US stations will be sustained, or what all of this might mean for the continent’s delicate geopolitics.

When Musk’s role in govt or in FAA oversight was under consideration, perhaps it was fair to say “raising concerns about conflicts.” When he announced SpaceX would redesign the ATC system, that was at least a clear conflict. Now they’re buying SpaceX products to do it, it is just plain corruption.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.
