There are different ways govts can do branding. The Trump administration has largely cut human-centered design and the goal of uniformity. Instead, it's focusing on the tastes and imagery of Trump. Lots of gold! Reports say that future passports will include a mandatory image of Trump.

'Families of killed soldiers demand answers

The Army completed its investigation of the attack in June, but has yet to release a report due to the need to redact sensitive information, said an official familiar with the Army’s investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the report has not been released.

Some Gold Star families said they are frustrated with the lack of transparency from the Army and questioned why their loved ones were sent to a site known to be lacking protection against drone strikes.'

Justice Alito devotes an entire chapter of his new book to the emergency docket—and to responding to people like me (“the most prolific academic critic of the emergency docket”). As I explain over at “One First,” it … didn’t go well: www.stevevladeck.com/p/256-so-une...

In the pre-publication galleys to his new book, So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court, and Our Country, Justice Alito spelled my last name inconsistently. This is, I suspect, the pettiest possible point on which to open in discussing a Supreme Court justice’s new memoir, and I would never have mentioned it except for the fact that inconsistency turns out to be the organizing feature of the chapter in which I (“the most prolific academic critic of the emergency docket”) repeatedly appear.

The central inconsistency of Chapter 8, which is devoted to the emergency docket, is structural: Rather than tackle the subject holistically (as one might expect in a book), Alito mashed together the speech he gave five years ago at Notre Dame Law School with a “postscript.” The former was deeply flawed even at the time (among lots of other things, Alito repeatedly insisted that there was “nothing new” about the Court’s behavior on emergency applications during the first Trump administration and COVID); and the latter tries to move the goalposts away from the specific phenomena to which critics like me have actually objected.

The result is to leave readers with a disjointed, inaccurate, and misleading sense of what the debate is even about—to say nothing of how the Court’s own behavior since September 2021 (including Alito’s) has only further undermined the already-flawed claims Alito made back then. Somewhere between the galleys of Alito’s book and the final product (which hits bookstores today), someone apparently figured out that my last name should be spelled the same way (and correctly!) throughout. The other, more significant inconsistencies were, apparently, harder to fix.

My hand holding a crudely made stuffed cat toy, oblong, about 10 x 5 cm. It has a bit of yellow fake fur for hair, and a bit of ribbon cut into the shape of a tie and glued onto a triangle of white felt to make the "body" (brown fabric with a dotted teal spiral pattern) look like a suit. A few tight invisible stitches in the pink "head" create the look of eyes, nose, and mouth.
