I somehow discovered Sisterhood is Powerful in high school and still have the copy I bought then. It was such an inspiration and lifesaver for a young lesbian/feminist in early 1980s Indiana, and it instilled in me deep and lasting respect and gratitude for Morgan as an activist and poet.

The Smithsonian OIG released a report today on SI's content review process for sensitive topics, noting the process directive was revised in June 2025. The exhibit OIG reviewed had received complaints about its content on homes in Iraq, Syria, and Palestine destroyed by US-manufactured weapons.

I continue to add new resources to the Trump Trackers page as I become aware of them, with a few added today. I'm always happy to hear about trackers I've missed, so please feel free to reach out if there's something you think would be a good addition. ucsd.libguides.com/usgov/trumpt...

Amazing splash on the HUD website.
The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

Oversight.gov, home for many Inspector General reports, has been completely down for a couple of days. Looks like the actual reports are still available if you have the direct url, such as www.oversight.gov/sites/defaul...
The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.

New banner announces upcoming shutdown of pandemicoversight.gov. Several sections of the "reporting on oversight" dropdown (IG reports, recs to agencies, ongoing work) are already gone.
Pandemicoversight.gov will shut down on September 30, 2025. After July 14, 2025, the Dashboards, Agency, State, and Program pages will not be available. You'll still be able to access the data until September 30.

The entire EPA.gov website seems to be down. I miss the days of being able to casually assume errors like this were temporary, benign tech glitches.
EPA website error "Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site."

The Office of Management & Budget has issued a memo directing a funding freeze on federal grants and loans, which could affect a wide range of programs. You can use www.usaspending.gov to see programs/services funded in your local area. (Use the "location" limit option to find your city or county.)
