These people are monsters: https://www.yahoo.com/news/dhs-sec-noem-says-move-193625920.html US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told a Cabinet meeting Monday that the department would move to “eliminate” the government’s disaster relief agency, days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing state and local governments to “play a more active and significant role” in responding to such catastrophes. Noem, whose department oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has previously vowed to “get rid of FEMA the way it exists today”; Trump has said he would close the agency entirely, but that would require an act of Congress.

We need to do something about these private equity bastards

Will anybody be able to stop Trump before he completely destroys what’s left of the country? Legal community shaken by a powerful law firm's decision to give in to Trump's demands WASHINGTON — On Thursday, the powerful law firm Paul Weiss caved. It agreed to give Donald Trump’s administration $40 million in free legal work for causes the president supports and, according to a social media post from Trump, get rid of any internal diversity, equity and inclusion policies. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/legal-community-shaken-powerful-law-firm-paul-weiss-trump-rcna197490 In response, Trump rescinded his executive order that targeted the firm and could have cost it significant business. The agreement shocked many in the legal community, and for Rachel Cohen, an associate at another large firm — , Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP — it was the final straw. On Thursday night, Cohen fired off an email to her firm that said she was giving her two-weeks’ notice, unless leaders there agreed to a number of conditions that would, in effect, stand up to the Trump administration — including by refusing to cooperate with the targeting of DEI programs. “This is not what I saw for my career or for my evening, but Paul Weiss’ decision to cave to the Trump administration on DEI, representation and staffing has forced my hand,” Cohen wrote in her firmwide email, which went viral on social media after she shared it publicly. “We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not continue to work here.” Representatives for Paul Weiss, Skadden and the White House did not immediately return requests for comment. -

So, what did the drug fiend learn at the Pentagon? Elon Musk holds unprecedented Pentagon talks, wants leakers prosecuted: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musk-calls-prosecutions-pentagon-staff-who-leaked-new-york-times-2025-03-21/ Musk holds high-level meeting with Pentagon Tesla CEO urges prosecution for Pentagon leakers Trump and Musk deny press report on China war plans briefing WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk took his campaign to cut the U.S. federal government into uncharted waters on Friday, holding an unprecedented top-level meeting at the Pentagon and calling for the prosecution of any Defense Department officials leaking "maliciously false information" about his visit. Musk, whose businesses have a number of Defense Department contracts, met U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for 80 minutes in his first such talks at the Pentagon, which is responsible for a large chunk of federal government spending. It was unclear whether U.S. generals joined that meeting virtually.

These voters were told that Kamala was for “they/them” - and that Trump was for these voters. What we’re witnessing is their shock and surprise at finding out that they’re they/them too.

Trump administration ends "segregated facilities" ban in federal contracts https://www.axios.com/2025/03/18/trump-end-segregated-facilities-ban-contracts The Trump administration has announced the federal government will no longer unequivocally prohibit contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms and drinking fountains. Why it matters: The change announced last month in an overlookedpublic memo is a symbolic move, first reported by NPR, and comes after President Trump revoked President Lyndon Johnson's decades-old order diversity and affirmative action practices in the federal government. The big picture: The Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as many state laws, still makes segregated facilities illegal in all businesses, including federal contractors. Yes, but: Critics say the recent change sends a message about the government's priorities and potentially eliminates a crucial enforcement tool. The change follows the Trump administration's reinterpretation of Civil Rights-era laws to focus on "anti-white racism," rather than discrimination against people of color. Zoom in: A public memo the General Services Administration issued said the change was needed after Trump revoked LBJ's 60-year-old executive order requiring federal contractors to refrain from employment discrimination. The memo also addresses Trump's executive order on gender identity. A clause in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) said contractors can't "maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities." The memo stated that when issuing new solicitations or contracts, agencies could no longer include the clause about the "Prohibition of Segregated Facilities." FAR defined segregated facilities as work areas, restaurants, drinking fountains, transportation, housing and others

UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
Satchel replied to alphahorn's topic in Basketball
If Texas continues to be concerned with how the press and other outsiders might view a basketball hire, if said hire is consistent with the Texas brand, or if it is a grand enough hire, then it’s has the potential to be a recurring situation. If a smart, young coach, has a demonstrated ability to construct a roster in an unstable environment, to lead that roster through the required forming, storming, norm ing and performing in short order, and then coach that roster to sustained success, that coach deserves serious consideration and should not be dismissed out of hand because he’s not a household name. -
