Waiting to see what happens at SCOTUS if the admin tries to appeal, but Americans deserve information about how their confidential information is being (mis)handled.
Overnight: The Trump admin must comply with parts of a lower court judge's order to disclose info about DOGE and make its administrator Amy Gleason available to testify, the DC Circuit held last night. It's the second round of litigation after SCOTUS kicked the fight back in June:

I like how much of the “low information” working or middle class voter discussion implicitly goes hard at the idea that they’re poorer and more susceptible to bad, dumb (mis)info, and I’m not saying people aren’t, but have u seen how rich highly educated people vote?

Carter G. Woodson's famous 1933 work The Mis-Education of the Negro includes a discussion of these kinds of cases. Medical textbooks of the era reminded students of the higher rates of diseases including STIs in Black populations. True, relevant information. But what effects did it have? 3/

Un commissaire mis en examen pour avoir protégé les policiers qui ont fracassé le crâne d’Angelina
Selon une information de « Mediapart », les magistrats considèrent que le haut gradé s’est livré à de fausses déclarations sous serment et a dissimulé auprès de la justice des éléments permettant d’identifier les policiers marseillais qui ont tabassé gratuitement une femme de 19 ans en décembre 2018.

"Information" about how the Communists were the ones orchestrating the Civil Rights Movement. "Information" about how science has "proven" white superiority. "Information" about "Black criminality" and "white virtue" that was embedded in thousands of memetic cherry-picked and mis-told stories.

Talk about foreign interference - most the Conservative and Reform Party leadership seem to get their (mis)information from the Nazi friendly hell hole of X
There are few politicians who would benefit more from watching Adolescence - a show about the dangers of individuals being radicalised by online cranks - than Kemi Badenoch
Kemi Badenoch's spokesman repeatedly refuses to tell me where the leader of the opposition got her claim from that the main character in Adolescence had been "race-swapped" from black to white, telling me that it's "astounding" that I should ask him about it

Justin Baldoni represents every self-styled progressive hero who used his brand to hide abhorrent behavior. He represents so many advocates and allies who are neither, and are in fact the perpetrators of the injustices they claim to fight.

What worries me is that most Americans will simply ignore what is being done in Washington over the next couple of years. They'll turn on the football game, watch an episode of the Real Housewives of Someplace, and ignore it as fundamental freedoms and crucial institutions are carved away.
