The US is considering the possibility of a military operation in Cuba in the coming months — CBS

Remember when Obama tried to normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba, even easing travel and trade restrictions and then Trump immediately tore up any progress on that front (and the same thing with Iran, tbh)? Welp....

"congressional rhetoric has become more partisan and negative as social media usage has increased... partisanship and negativity receive inflated levels of positive engagement on social media relative to other forms of messaging like credit claiming or constituency service."

Abstract
Existing accounts of presidential particularism emphasize the targeted distribution of benefits to electorally valuable constituencies. This research note demonstrates that presidential particularism can also operate punitively, through the selective imposition of costs on constituencies that provided weaker electoral support for the president. I examine this dynamic through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a highly centralized and politicized agency created at the start of Donald Trump’s second term. Leveraging data on nearly 700,000 federal contracts linked to DOGE contract cuts and 2024 county-level election returns, I show that these cuts were systematically concentrated in counties that provided weaker electoral support for Trump. These patterns hold across contract- and county-level analyses. Together, these findings broaden theories of presidential particularism by showing that presidents may use administrative authority to impose costs on electorally oppositional constituencies. More broadly, I demonstrate how presidents can wield administrative power as a tool of partisan punishment.

Description
Sound Transit has big plans for the next several decades.

But big plans have big price tags that the agency hopes to split with the federal government.

The problem is, the federal government has stopped approving Capital Investment Grants since Trump took office.

We’ll get into what that means with former Sound Transit CEO and former Federal Transit Administration administrator Peter Rogoff.

Just witnessed the trash collector shriek and then giggle as he got startled by a rat leaping out of a waste bin and scurrying away. And then shrieked again as another rat leapt away. So then he flipped the lid and then out went the last rat headed towards the bushes. He seemed pretty amused actualy

This interview process makes no sense... I applied for two roles on this one team. Interviewed for the Analyst role and got rejected. But now they want to interview me for the Sr. Analyst role... and I'm like are you sure???

About 30% into this book and we're still getting caught up on what the characters have been doing between this and the last book, with only a little bit revealed so far of what this story will be about 🥴

Something that is fun is that Tacoma is most famous for a bridge that collapsed once.
