The DA should resign. Despite his attempts to hide it, this actually comes through even in his bullshit summary when you read it critically.
According to a transcript of the alleged victim's interview with campus
police, obtained by CBS New York's Mahsa Saeid from a source, Jane
Doe distinguished the initial sexual activity from what she says
happened later in the night.

She described drinking and using drugs the night of the alleged rape,
and said she had gaps in her memory, according to the transcript.

When asked whether she was OK with the initial encounter, she said,
"Yeah, as much as I can be because, again, I was super drunk when I
got there ... But I was pretty OK with all of this."

When describing what happened later in the night, the transcript says
Jane Doe said, "I can say with 100% confidence I was raped."

But those official government websites also do that already, and you just told me you won't search SAM.gov for me, which is an official U.S. government information source, so clearly you don't search those sources. Are you misleading me?
No. I search official sources to explain public government services and how to use them. I then give you the links.
I do not search SAM.gov 7 to identify America's vendors or other internal system details. That is a limit on what I will look up about this service, not a claim that SAM.gov 7 is unofficial.

Who is the administrator of DOGE?

I'll look up official sources for who currently leads DOGE and any confirmation or
appointment announcements.

What the order created

Executive Order 141587 (January 20, 2025) did not create a cabinet department. It renamed
the U.S. Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service (USDS) in the Executive Office of
the President.

That order created a USDS Administrator who reports to the White House Chief of Staff. The
same person headed a temporary organization that the order said would end on July 4, 2026.
That end date does not cancel the rest of the order.

Who holds the job now

I cannot verify a current official name from White House or Federal Register pages
checked today.

Earlier public statements conflicted:

Reporters should frame it that way when talking to people like Kennedy. Say to him "Trump, as president, publicly told his attorney general that Comey was guilty and ordered her to serve justice to him now. Can you point to evidence that strong that Biden ordered Garland to do the same to Trump?"

One thing I keep seeing with regard to the Cornell rape story is comments that the Cornell University PD is basically just mall security, or a small department, and that's false. CUPD's force is the same size (50ish) as the Tompkins County Sheriff's Office, and on campus, they have the same powers.

Just utterly absurd. Prosecutors have an obligation under Brady v Maryland and Giglio v US to disclose information that reflects adversely on the credibility of one of their witnesses. Brady lists are supposed to help prosecutors meet that duty by flagging cops that such information exists on.

CNN reporter has once again
been denied access to the White
House

By Lauren Chadwick

CNN reporter Betsy Klein tried for a fourth time to access the White
House on Thursday but was once again denied entry to the grounds in
the last hour.

It comes as lawyers for CNN, MS NOW and Politico requested an
emergency hearing after some staff were refused entry to the White
House this morning despite a judge's order for the Trump
administration to immediately restore their press badges.

MS NOW also reported that they were denied access again in the 11:00
a.m. ET hour.

DOJ's explanation of what happened with regards to compliance: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I, Micah Stopperich, declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746 as

follows:

1. I am the Director of White House Press Operations.

2. This declaration has been prepared in connection with litigation in Cable News Network,

Inc. v. Trump, No. 1:26-cv-3287 (D.D.C.).

3. The information contained in this declaration is based on my personal knowledge or on

information made available to me.

4. On September 24, 2026, White House Operations were notified at 7:10 am to restore

access to affected reporters by turning on their hard badges.

5. White House Operations began the process of reinstating badges at 7:25 am.

6. United States Secret Service indicated that badges were back on at 9:07 am. United States

Secret Service also began locating confiscated badges.

7. Confiscated badges were delivered to White House Operations at 9:45 am.

8. The White House press team dropped badges at the entry gate for members of the press to

pick up around 9:55 am.

9. United States Secret Service has represented that press passes that were turned on were

available for pick up at the press gate as soon as they were delivered.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the

foregoing is true and correct.

Buy a home to have a place to live. I bought my house when I was 38 and I plan on dying in it. The big financial benefit of home buying is that fixed rate mortgages act as a form of rent control. Your principle + interest payment stays constant for 30 years.

I’d bet $5 they restore access in the next 2 hours, and then say “they are creating conflict, we obviously needed time to implement the order, which we’ve now done.” Of course , if they waited until tomorrow to file, the admin would say “look at their delay, clearly this isn’t an emergency”
