Russ Vought doubled down on using the party-line reconciliation process to secure the Pentagon funding boost. Vought also floated eliminating the filibuster on spending bills. “We’re not planning on failure,” Vought said

Lawmakers also learned last week that DOD couldn’t spend all $152 billion in defense funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill by the fiscal deadline. That undercuts the argument for giving it more than double that amount through reconciliation this time.

“The Pentagon, the senior leadership, keeps insisting that they’re going to get $350 billion in reconciliation,” Sen. Chris Coons (Del.), the top Democrat on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, told reporters last week. “They will not.”

I just read something about the regime wanting to end accommodations so disabled people can live in society with the rest of us. And then see this. This regime only cares about disabled people if they want to hunt. AYFKM? And they cannot just go and kill tons of sharks because Trump said so either.

“Directs the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of Commerce to propose changes to polices that prevent access of public lands for recreation, infrastructure repair, and wildlife management, as well as to encourage volunteers to manage wildlife populations and invasive species, allow the use of assistive technology on access trails and hunting locations for people with disabilities.”

San Jose went from keeping data for a year to one month. AFAIK San Francisco still keeps the data for a year. I'm not holding my breath cops etc. ever get charged with any crime when misusing the data.

The court decision in Santa Clara County comes only weeks after officials revealed that a San José police officer was fired for abusing the city’s license plate reader network to help his family member track the whereabouts of a woman who accused the family member of domestic violence.

Trump is full of shit as usual. Refineries are closing because they are not profitable, no one closing them. In fact Newsom is begging a couple that have planned closures to stay open. Trump is not capable of telling the truth or taking responsibility for what he fucks up.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Light streamed through stained-glass windows in a former church, illuminating long white tables where weary men gathered. Johnny Henderson was glad for the rest. The 71-year-old — who has one arm, heart disease and vision problems — slept on the street the night before.

Henderson is a regular at the St. John Center men’s day shelter. So are a great-grandfather in a wheelchair who has prostate cancer, a 54-year-old with four psychiatric disorders and a 66-year-old with a walker who wears a hospital bracelet warning “fall risk.”

And his white relative comes up with racist conspiracy theories that the dead man was a sort of suicide bomber meant to harm local white population. This nation is full of racist sick people. I wish we could fix them.

But Diana, who had spent years working as a nurse in Ohio prisons, continued. She said her experience had taught her to think “outside the box,” and she offered a theory that none of the investigating authorities had suggested. She believed that what happened could have been more than a suicide, that Pierre could have been “almost like a suicide bomber,” attempting to send a political message. She said she believed that this could start happening more often.

"The university investigative files outline in excruciating detail what the fraternity members were accused of doing" "the panel found Mr. Ingalls responsible for sexual assault He got suspended vs arrested. We need to force universities to refer to police....RAPE = suspension? GMAFB

In the end, the punishments handed out by the three-member panel, which met on Zoom over 12 days in May 2025, varied widely. The panel, which enforces federal civil rights at the university under Title IX provisions, did not conclude that Jane Doe was sexually assaulted by all the men she had accused, according to the discipline summaries.

Always something interesting to see as you wander around San Francisco (or any city really.) Just put the phone away and look around! I'm reading a book called: On Looking, Walker's guide to art of observation by Alexandra Horowitz, and I love it. I do not have a car and walk a lot.

It matches a raised bed made from them across the lawn area. Will look great when all done (next spring)

After tree removal before major leveling of yard and new wall for back.

Retaining wall is getting mortared into place, two of three rows of cobblestones nearly done. These stones were retrieved from a building site that dug them up from under the asphalt street, they used to be the street in SOMA alley here in SF. Next preparing the bed with added compost and plants! 🌱

Women (and frankly, most men) have no desire to be cult figures, that is not = to be successful or even powerful. And it seems women tech leaders may have a hell of lot more ethics than many of the billionaire bros fight for every promotion we get. I was kicked out of tech sales for being too old.

She would know. In 2018, Google hired the Ethiopian-born Gebru to colead a project on ethical AI. Gebru did what she was hired to do: She called out biases in AI via a now-infamous research paper that Google said didn’t meet its standards. Her subsequent termination caused a firestorm. Now she heads a group called Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research that investigates some of the harms caused by tech giants and AI.

Rao: don't we have to give the government's declarations the presumption of regularity? NO. this government has proven again and again no court can trust them. Presumption of Regularity Is Gone.

Deliberate Sabotage

A NYT review found 35 instances since August in which federal judges have issued show cause orders for why Trump DOJ attorneys should not be sanctioned for failing to abide by court orders in immigrant habeas cases.

DOJ has been lying to judges. From February: morningmemo.talkingpointsmemo.com/p/judges-big...

As Morning Memo reported two weeks ago, Trump DOJ lawyer Tiberius Davis told U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in a hearing in the original Alien Enemies Act case that the administration’s agreement with El Salvador to ship immigrants there for confinement, including in CECOT, would expire in March, after one year.

That was a bit of news, and it caught Boasberg’s ear because he’s overseeing a separate case in which human rights groups are suing to invalidate that agreement. So Boasberg circled back and asked Davis again if the agreement was set to expire after one year, and Davis confirmed what he’d originally said.

Three days later, Boasberg followed up in the other case by asked the Justice Department to file a brief on whether and when the agreement expires and whether that moots the case.

In its response to Boasberg, the Trump DOJ dipsy-doo’d again: “Defendants respectfully state that the non-legally binding diplomatic arrangement at issue in this case does not have a termination date.” (Davis is listed on the filing that case, too.)

It’s this kind of inability to get straight or consistent answers from DOJ lawyers that is driving judges crazy and spelled such a quick end to the presumption of regularity previously afforded to the Justice Department.

Heading to Union Square in San Francisco today for Dolly Parton Day celebration at noon. Look alike contest, Drag show, singers and lots of Dolly fans. RIP Dolly 💔

Republicans in power today object to trans and womens rights

Regarding “Gender”: It is the policy of the United States to recognize two biological sexes, male and female. To achieve this, we use clear and accurate language that recognizes women are biologically female and men are biologically male. Sex is not

interchangeable, rather it is irreplaceable. The differences between male and female should be celebrated, appreciated, and respected.

On “Sexual and reproductive health”: There has unequivocally never been an international commitment on “sexual and reproductive health and rights,” and we strongly oppose the use of this terminology. The Trump Administration is committed to supporting families, promoting women’s health, and protecting children at all stages of life and reaffirms there is no international right to abortion.

"Immigration authorities had granted him Special Immigrant Juvenile Status because, as a toddler, he’d been abandoned by his parents in Honduras and had come to this country on his own when he was 14." And lived with sister here. The USA is no longer a place anyone can trust.

Among the children in court that day was an 8-year old girl from Ecuador who was seeking asylum and SIJ. The girl’s mother had already won asylum in a separate case. But Sponzo ordered the girl to be deported anyway.
