Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

"The Constitution clearly mandates that Congress, not the executive branch, has the power of the purse." Congress should reinstate the Office of Management and Budget's public apportionment tracker now. Read the letter we signed alongside nine other organizations: www.rstreet.org/outreach/coa...

My brain literally cannot comprehend all of the bad stuff that just happened today so instead: scholastic book fair now has online wallets that you can use for your kiddos at the book fair- but also, you can donate to “share the fair” so others w/o can get books.

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
18f.org
We're not done yet | 18F

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Red and blue states alike recognize the need for journalist-source confidentiality. Let's hope Idaho's shield bill gets across the finish line.

Idaho House unanimously passes media shield law bill protecting journalists’ sources • Idaho Capital Sun
Supporters said the bill would help combat frivolous lawsuits and provide protections similar to existing whistleblower laws.

Kudos to @404media.bsky.social for leading by example and lowering the paywall on any article that's primarily based on public records. If a small, independent outlet can afford it, others have no excuse.

One journalist was ultimately able to witness the execution but only because Corcoran gave him a friends and family seat. Almost no information was released. The state shouldn’t put the burden on the condemned to ensure transparency around their own killing. www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

When they’re not trying to sue or prosecute journalists for reporting on public records, LA officials use disappearing chats to avoid creating them in the first place. www.latimes.com/california/s...

L.A. city officials use disappearing Google Chats. The city attorney is investigating
Critics say the auto-deleting of messages allows officials to skirt the California Public Records Act and the city’s own document retention policies.
