Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Seems to me that allowing law enforcement officers to wear masks covering their faces….encourages an environment where law enforcement officers aren’t as concerned about being caught on camera doing something illegal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reading between the lines I think haugh was not only fired because the president is banging a racist lunatic influencer but bc he wasn't into the current program paralyzing every branch of the military & intelligence that says before you do anything you have to make everything more racist
General Haugh was also seen by the Trump administration as moving too slowly on its mandate to eliminate diversity programs.

www.cnbc.com/2025/03/28/p... Would Russia benefit from Trump muscling in on Greenland? Russia benefits anytime there's tension within NATO or between the U.S. and its allies. If Trump took it unilaterally or by force... it could strain U.S.-Europe relations even further. So...yeah.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Walked through the Tinker Nature Park here in Rochester. Little bit of hard packed snow on the trails, but it's melting. Had to wait for traffic on the bridge. At least 8 deer were just hanging out. I really liked the two that hung out to watch me walk by and checked to see if I was followed.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing
electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission
leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've
asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but
because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID
and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf
for fear of not being reimbursed.
7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and
radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to
me.
8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this
week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has
been allegedly implemented to preserve such access.
9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional
Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security
systems.The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO.

“People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.
