‘Suicide is only one option': Social Security staff newly assigned to phone duties raise concerns over training
https://www.govexec.com/management/2026/02/suicide-only-one-option-social-security-staff-newly-assigned-phone-duties-raise-concerns-over-training/411429/?

The Social Security Administration has instructed employees newly assigned to answering phones to tell callers expressing suicidal thoughts that suicide is “one option,” raising concerns from employees and experts in the field who called the approach unorthodox.

SSA recently began shifting new swaths of its workforce to phone answering duty, including those who normally receive and process retirement and disability claims, manage the agency’s technology and work in the agency's finances unit. Those employees received brief, three-hour training before they began answering calls.

Israel will begin contentious West Bank land registration in new step to deepen control
https://apnews.com/article/israel-west-bank-land-regulation-settlements-4fab1fbdf76b9db674c38a9ba18ff32e

It paves the way for the resumption of “settlement of land title” processes, which had been frozen in the West Bank since the Mideast War in 1967. It means that when Israel begins the land registration process for a certain area, anyone with a claim to the land must submit documents proving ownership.

The Israeli anti-settlement group Peace Now said the process likely amounts to a “mega land grab” from Palestinians.

Ofran said the process for proving ownership can be “draconian” and is rarely transparent, meaning any land that undergoes the registration process in areas currently owned by Palestinians is likely to revert to Israeli state control.

Still, the recalibration remains a work in progress. After the Food and Drug Administration last week abruptly refused to review a new flu vaccine developed by the drugmaker Moderna, setting off alarms across the pharmaceutical industry, complaints about the surprise move eventually reached Trump.

The president responded angrily, berating FDA Commissioner Marty Makary over the decision, two people familiar with the episode told CNN. The FDA has subsequently said it will now review the flu shot, after Moderna submitted a revised proposal.

Hegseth invites controversial Idaho pastor and self-described Christian nationalist to lead Pentagon’s monthly prayer meeting

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth invited controversial Idaho pastor Doug Wilson, a self-described Christian nationalist whose church doesn’t believe women should vote, to lead the Pentagon’s prayer service on Tuesday.

“Thank you for your leadership, your mentorship for the things you’ve started, the truth you’ve told, the willingness to be bold,” Hegseth told Wilson on stage as service members and government employees looked on. “It’s the type of thing we are trying to exercise here.”

He made a fake ICE deportation tip line. Then a kindergarten teacher called.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ar-AA1WJ50r

Then in January of last year, he had an idea for a new bit: He’d set up a fake tip line that people could use to report anyone they thought was an undocumented immigrant. It was darker than his other stunts, but it felt topical, the kind of challenge he wanted to try. At the very least, he thought, he might get a few calls he could talk about at his next show.

Instead, his tip line has received nearly 100 submissions from across the country: people reporting their neighbors, ex-lovers, Uber drivers, strangers they saw at the grocery store. One tip came from a teacher reporting the parents of a kindergarten student at her school.

A war foretold: how the CIA and MI6 got hold of Putin’s Ukraine plans and why nobody believed them
https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2026/feb/20/a-war-foretold-cia-mi6-putin-ukraine-plans-russia

In calls between Biden and Zelenskyy, the tone sometimes became strained as the US president stated bluntly that the Russians were coming for Kyiv. Frustrated with the failure to get Zelenskyy and his team to listen, Sullivan had decided the focus should be on Ukrainian intelligence agencies and the military, hoping they would raise the alarm from below.

“At every meeting, they told me it’s happening for sure,” said a Ukrainian intelligence official stationed in Washington, recounting numerous encounters with CIA counterparts. “When I looked into their eyes I could see there was no doubt. And every time, they asked me: ‘Where are you going to take the president? What’s the plan B?’” He told them there was no plan B.

Political drama.

your take is dumb but because it lacks nuance and understanding
it was intentionally 'closed out' almost twenty years ago
with an illegal sweetheart no-prosecution deal
but the epstein class kept it going because of course they did

as far as any manufacturing of narrative around the releases now
I'll agree insofar that certain side plots, so to speak, seem to be being amplified and intentionally misconstrued
I'm particularly shook by how easy it's been to see the shift from the obvious jewish chauvinism apparent in the releases into a narrative of blood libel of all jews

it reads like panicked narrative management a la mockingbird

but to suggest that we're being 'subjected to it' for 'political drama' smacks of willful ignorance because the unsavory business implicates someone you'd prefer kept your particular persuasion of 'savory'

so your take is dumb

The U.S. State Department is developing an online portal that will enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments including alleged hate speech and terrorist propaganda, a move Washington views as a way to counter censorship, three sources familiar with the plan said.

The site will be hosted at "freedom.gov," the sources said. One source said officials had discussed including a virtual private network function to make a user's traffic appear to originate in the U.S. and added that user activity on the site will not be tracked.

Not sure about the "No name" brand aesthetic.

It takes weight off the messaging. Go with something more eye-catching. What's the product? 70 million of pedo lovers. Blast them with orange, neon green. Make it loud, make it aggressive.

A MAGA hat next to a torn teddy bear? Bluey underpants next to a bible?
That's what you should be going for. That in-your-face, uncomfortable truth that MAGA Loves Pedos.
