It is very, very unusual for Stars and Stripes to run three related stories like this on the same day.
Keep in mind, not a leftist rag, Stars and Stripes, founded 1861, is the official Department of Defense news publication under federal law (32 CFR Part 246) having authority and responsibility to provide First Amendment-type reporting and editorially independent media products for the benefit of the U.S. military community, including current service members and veterans and their families, and including DoD civilian employees and contractor personnel, particularly those serving overseas. Stars and Stripes reporters are DoD employees.
Thanks, Allison, for going live with this news. I was having a bad night thinking about all the stuff thatโs going on, and the news of Trump/Miller/Hegseth sending the CA Guard to Portland made me want to just shut down. Then you and Adam came online with the results of the hearing, and I was able to uncurl from my fetal position on the couch and finish getting ready for the work week. Thank you.
Is it just me, or does it seem like Trumpโs staff is taking advantage of his greatly diminished mental capacity? Perhaps someone needs to point this out to him. Just saying.
I'd love to know if the judges are aware of your work and if they appreciate the support (well, the ones that make lawful decisions at least!) I hope so. Read about one judge's house being set fire earlier, and her husband having to jump to escape. He's in the hospital. And after the Michigan assassin... They are always brave, but especially now.
One of the things I love about independent journalism is while the professionalism is still there. The flexibility definitely is and itโs a much more casual environment, ripe for intimacy and connection thank you thank you thank you.
Nitwit in chief and minions will always look for angles..
