“People are in extreme mental distress.” More than a hundred Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, have been fitted with ankle monitors by ICE, according to a local organization. The devices will make it far easier for federal authorities to locate people if full-scale deportations begin. nyti.ms/4y1V8hr

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

UK’s museums and galleries left vulnerable to cyber-attack and theft, MPs warn
Report by Commons committee says government has failed to make concrete changes after recent security failures Britain’s museums and galleries are being left vulnerable to thefts and cyber-attacks that could put priceless collections at risk, MPs have warned. A report by the public accounts committee (PAC) said big security failures in recent years, including the theft of thousands of artefacts from the British Museum and a devastating cyber-attack on the British Library, had exposed serious weaknesses across the sector, but that the government had failed to take a strategic approach to preventing similar incidents.

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.

Clinton was a uniquely bad candidate whose problems had almost nothing to do with policy or centrism. Most Americans decided long ago that they didn't like her and weren't going to let her be president. Don't keep raising HRC as a failure of centrism; she was a special problem all to herself.

Correios abrem inscrição para plano de demissão de cerca de 10 mil funcionários em 2026
Os Correios vão reabrir, na próxima semana, as inscrições para o Plano de Desligamento Voluntário (PDV) previsto para cerca de 10 mil funcionários neste ano. A iniciativa é uma das medidas de corte de gastos previstas no plano de recuperação para equilibrar a situação financeira da estatal. Segundo o plano anunciado pela empresa em dezembro, a expectativa é de que até 15 mil funcionários façam parte do plano de demissão até 2027. Os Correios estimam uma economia R$ 2,1 bilhões anuais com os desligamentos. As demissões estão prevista para ocorrer ao longo de 2026 e 2027, com cerca de 10 mil cortes neste ano e mais cinco mil no ano que vem. A participação no programa é voluntária. Segundo os Correios, neste PDV 2026, as inscrições ficarão abertas até 31 de março. Os desligamentos serão concluídos até o fim de maio. Em anúncio nesta sexta, os Correios divulgaram as regras para que os funcionários possam se inscrever no plano de demissão: É necessário possuir, no mínimo, dez anos de efetivo exercício na empresa e ter recebido remuneração por pelo menos 36 meses dentro dos últimos 60 meses. Funcionário deve ter menos de 75 anos até a data do desligamento Além das demissões, os Correios também preveem o fechamento de mil agências, com um economia prevista de R$ 2,1 bilhões. Mesmo com as medidas, os Correios devem apresentar um déficit de em torno de R$ 9 bilhões em 2025. A tendência é de que haja um prejuízo ainda maior no ano que vem, segundo o presidente da empresa. Os Correios só devem voltar a dar lucro a partir de 2027. O plano será implementado para reverter 12 trimestres seguidos de prejuízos das empresa. Atualmente, a empresa enfrenta um déficit estrutural de mais de R$ 4 bilhões anuais por causa do cumprimento da universalização do serviço postal em locais remotos. Confira as principais medidas anuciadas abaixo: Empréstimo de R$ 12 bilhões (R$ 10 bilhões neste ano, e R$ 2 bilhões em 2026). Mais R$ 8 bilhões em operação de crédito em 2026 Plano de demissão voluntária para 15 mil funcionários com economia de R$ 2,1 bilhões anuais Revisão de planos de saúde, com economia de R$ 700 milhões Fechamento de mil agências deficitárias e redesenho da malhas, com impacto positivo de R$ 2,1 bilhões Novas parcerias e diversificação de atividades (serviços financeiros e seguros), com ganho esperado de R$ 1,7 bilhão Venda e alienação de imóveis e ativos, com receita estimada de R$ 1,5 bilhão Empréstimo de R$ 4,4 bilhões com banco dos Brics para modernização de serviços e tecnologias Contratação de consultoria para rever modelo organizacional e societário
