"A Somalian immigrant, from *Somalia,* a country on the easternmost side of Africa, also called the "Horn of Africa," saved 20 schoolkids by taking over when their bus driver got sick. Not sure why ICE wasn't around to help the students, just the Somali. Film at 11."

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

I'm not the kind to say it all points back to a single historical episode, but so much of what Trump is doing with ballroom & Kennedy Center—the wanton destruction, the callous indifference to the past—was evident when he destroyed Bonwit Teller's irreplaceable sculptures nearly a half-century ago

Michael Lobel@mlobelart.bsky.social

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

"Yes, the federal government has several anti-fraud statutes, with the False Claims Act (FCA) (31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733) serving as the primary civil litigation tool against fraud involving federal funds."

Mark Buchanan
@markabuchanan.bsky.social

"The FCA, enacted in 1863 and known as "Lincoln's Law," imposes liability for knowingly submitting false claims and allows whistleblowers to bring qui tam actions, often resulting in *treble damages* and significant civil penalties."

The Trump admin's new rules for foreign journalists would cap their initial admission to the U.S. to 240 days, axing a 40-year-old policy and revealing a 'pattern of hostility unlike any in modern U.S. history,' @pressfreedom.bsky.social's Loghman Fattahi writes.

thehill.comWhy is the Trump administration targeting foreign journalists?A new policy disturbingly echoes those found in Russia, China and Iran, which use strict visa compliance rules to punish journalists and media outlets that report on their governments unfavorably. …
