The Murdochs’ courtroom battle for control of their media empire has unfolded almost entirely in secret. But 3,000 pages of the trial record obtained by The New York Times reveal bitterness and betrayal that not even writers of “Succession” could conjure.

I've been doom-mongering about this for a while. The liberal humanist trend in literary publishing to be anti-AI bc soul/empathy/unique (rather than theft/turbocapitalism/surveillance) leads to artisan sourdough pricing & gatekeeping. But not to more support for writers as workers.

ALL the U.S. Inspector Generals that Trump just tried to fire are refusing to leave their post (because he does not have the legal right to fire them) and are telling him to get fucked. Brava.

COUNCIL OF THE INSPECTORS GENERAL ON INTEGRITY AND EFFICIENCY
January 24, 2025
Mr. Sergio Gor
Director of Presidential Personnel
The White House
Dear Mr. Gor:
I am writing in response to your email sent to me and other Inspectors General earlier this evening wherein you informed each of us that "due to changing priorities, your position as Inspector General . .. is terminated, effective immediately."
As Chairperson of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), I recommend that you reach out to White House Counsel to discuss your intended course of action. At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General.
Specifically, based upon the 2022 amendments to the Inspector General Act of 1978, the President must notify Congress 30 days prior to removal of an IG and provide "substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons" for such removal. 5 U.S.C. § 403(b), as amended by the section 5202(a) of the Securing Inspector General Independence Act of 2022 (Title LII, Subtitle A, of P.L. 117-263, 136 Stat. 2395, 3222). The requirement to provide the substantive rationale, including detailed and case specific reasons, was added to better enable Congress to engage on and respond to a proposed removal of an Inspector General in order to protect the independence of Inspectors General.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at Hannibal. Ware@sba.gov.
