BREAKING — All FDIC employees just received an email confirming DOGE presence at the agency. "The DOGE team has neither requested nor been granted access to sensitive bank information." We'll see how long that remains true. Text of email shared with me:

Holy shit. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... He's actually doing it. Consolidating all payments under the Tsy. Not to toot my own horn too much, but this is exactly what my paper is trying to address and oppose. We need a strong digital fisc vision to counter this.

eric holder didn’t take a final exam at columbia until his junior year because he was busy occupying campus buildings and such. the dean whose office he occupied wrote him a letter of rec for law school

Eric Holder speech saying “This being Columbia of course he agreed. He was a great, generous man. This College allowed an impetuous, testosterone laced youngster to express himself in ways that other institutions would have considered unacceptable. Not Columbia. This is why I loved this place.”

by far the worst offender is requiring URLs AND permalinks. URLs are at best redundant, at worst useless, and they take up a ton of space and look like shit

Today @danielhawley.bsky.social got passed the 100 mark- he's submitted 113 FOIA requests based on the 1967-1973 Federal Reserve Board Minutes. Hoping to hit 200 by the end of the semester. Very, very happy about it.
