The FBI has requested that Citibank place 30-day administrative freezes on accounts held by nonprofits that were recipients of the green bank funding. It also asked the bank to freeze other nonprofit and state government agency accounts, including Habitat for Humanity, United Way, the Colorado Clean Energy Fund, and New York State’s Department of Taxation and Finance.

I was paranoid about my new roof leaking, but it's been tested pretty well in the last couple of months and thankfully it's been okay. Dogs were not disappointed.
Weirdest part is that I can barely hear the rain now.
But might have some weird random association with hammering on the roof

Rich text editing on Discourse! I think that having to write Markdown directly has been one of the biggest real impediments for existing forums to move to Discourse, as I see it. I prefer writing raw Markdown, but most "normal" people would prefer a rich text editor. So happy to see this happening!

"As Trump guts the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is."

Donald Trump says eggs are free now.
At least that's the rumor we should be spreading if any of you are still on twitter or facebook. I want see MAGAs showing up at the store for free eggs. They're gullible enough.
These people have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.
“The Social Security Administration late Wednesday abandoned plans it was considering to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims after The Washington Post reported that Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service team was weighing the change to root out alleged fraud.”

Yes. Was half joking. But .. I wonder if the IRS can go after a child in the same way they could go after a spouse? (Were they filing jointly, so it was really her taxes as well?) Also likely depends on the way the estate is handled, and if there’s any money to pay the taxes that may be due. Lots of room for variation on this theme.
Caveat: I’m not a lawyer, and don’t play one on TV.
