interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

This is the first OMB Director who, when you hear the President mention his name, you start pondering what illegal abuses of power will be coming soon. My guess: some systemic bribery efforts as well as punishments to blue states.

At a marathon runtime of four hours, Alex Gibney's new documentary 'Musk' strains to cover the sweep of the oligarch's business empire and its capture of U.S. government. But the interviews with first wife Justine Wilson and latest ex Ashley St. Clair about his vindictive nature hit hardest.

In a way, it's useful to be reminded that Hastert's abuses became known b/c the W Bush-era FBI noticed he was "violating banking laws." Is there any chance that if Kash Patel's FBI spotted Mike Johnson or another Trump loyalist rep making fishy transactions that they would follow that lead?

One can only assume Pete removed the laurel and the olive branch to intentionally look more fascist.
Congress established the War Department at the cabinet level, Aug. 7, 1789. In 1947, the Navy and War departments and the newly independent Air Force merged to become the National Military Establishment. Two years later, in 1949, the name was changed to Department of Defense and then-Defense Secretary Louis Johnson authorized the first design and use of a seal for the department. The seal was updated in September 2025 to reflect the use of a secondary title, Department of War, as directed in Executive Order 14347.

The design of the original seal and its symbolism is described in Appendix VI Joint Army and Air Force Bulletin No. 23:

"An American eagle is displayed facing to the right. Wings are horizontal. The eagle grasps three crossed arrows and bears on its breast a shield whose lower two-thirds carries alternating white and red stripes and whose upper third is blue. Above the eagle is an arc of thirteen stars with alternating rays. Below the eagle is a wreath of laurel extending to the eagle's right and wreath of olive extending to the eagle's left. On an encircling band is the inscription 'Department of Defense' and 'United States of America.'

The American bald eagle, long associated with symbolism representing the United States of America and its military establishment, has been selected as an emblem of strength. In facing to the right, the field of honor is indicated. The eagle is defending the United States, represented by the Shield of thirteen pieces. The thirteen pieces are joined together by the blue chief, representing the Congress. The rays and stars above the eagle signify glory, while the three arrows are collectively symbolic of the three component parts of the Department of War. The laurel stands for honors received in combat defending the peace represented by the olive branch.

When the seal is displayed in color, the background is to be of medium blue with the eagle and wreath in natural colors and the arrows, stars, and rays of gold.
