Pete Hegseth removing tenure protections shows precisely why they are needed. He wants to silence dissent by being able to fire anyone who questions his vision of the military. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

Hegseth halts tenure appointments for civilian faculty at military academies

Military academies will no longer appoint civilian faculty to tenured positions as Hegseth says it can contribute to “academic stagnation.”

From @robcrank68.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth. Here's a red-bellied #woodpecker trying to be inconspicuous while working on a tree. #birds #birdphotography

A small bird with black and white striping on its back and wings, a white chest and belly, a red-capped head and a long black beak hanging on a rough looking tree trunk amongst some green leaves.

Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio

The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

when you ask the America.gov robot about vaccines and autism:

Do vaccines cause autism?

Federal pages do not all say the same thing. Use the links and talk with a licensed clinician
about your child's care.

What CDC currently posts

. On its Autism and Vaccines 7 page (updated July 22, 2026), CDC says the statement
"vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim under the Data Quality
Act, that studies have not ruled out a possible role for some infant vaccines, and that
HHS has launched further assessment of autism causes, including possible
vaccine-related mechanisms.
. Other CDC pages still say studies have not found an association, including Autism
FAQ 7, vaccines for children 7, and thimerosal 7.
. Older CDC summaries of CDC-sponsored studies stated vaccines do not cause autism
spectrum disorder: 2015 summary 7.

Other official sources

. FDA: scientific evidence does not show a link between thimerosal in vaccines and
autism. Thimerosal and Vaccines | FDA 7

. NIH/NIEHS: no link found between autism and vaccines, including those that contained
thimerosal. Autism | NIEHS 7
-................

How to read this

CDC's 2026 autism-and-vaccines page changed the agency's long-standing wording. Other
CDC, FDA, and NIH pages still describe no association in the studies they cite. I cannot verify
which conclusion will be used in future HHS updates.

For vaccine recommendations and individual medical decisions, use CDC vaccines for
children 7 and your health care provider.

I think there may be some Confusing Issues with how America.gov refers to itself as "America" as chat!! "If you mean this website, America does not have dreams. If you mean the country or the continents, that is not a government-service question I can answer here."

"There is no official scale that rates America as "low," "medium," or
"super" intelligence." Isn't that just an IQ test?

No. An IQ test is a type of test used with people. America is a government information
assistant, not a person, and it is not scored on an IQ test.

There is no official intelligence rating (low, medium, super, or IQ) for this service. I search
official U.S. government information and explain it with citations. Check those sources before
you act.

If you want to suggest a public way to describe how this assistant works, use Submit feedback
in the site menu or page footer.

. About America 7

. How it works 7
............

. Terms of use 7

Does America have dreams?

No. I am a government information assistant, not a person. I do not sleep or have dreams.

I search official U.S. government information and explain it with citations.

If you have a question about a government service, form, or benefit, ask that next.

. About America 7

I was talking about America, not America. Obviously.

I can only help with U.S. government services and official information.

If you mean this website, America does not have dreams. If you mean the country or the
continents, that is not a government-service question I can answer here.

Ask about a federal program, form, benefit, or how to contact an agency, and I will look
that up.
