"A series of firings initiated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has left the Army essentially rudderless as it struggles to deal with the threat posed by cheap, deadly drones and missiles that have pounded U.S. bases in the Middle East. The Army has not had a chief of staff, the service’s top officer, since Mr. Hegseth fired Gen. Randy George without explanation in April, and there are no signs that he is close to filling the position":

Brilliant. The city of #Regina has replaced its in-house map of current road closures and restrictions due to construction etc with an embedded Waze map.
Which doesn't show anything other than the bare map to me, in Firefox *or* in Vivaldi.
Well done, lads. Well done. In addition to sending visitors' locations to a US company who then resells it, you've actually stopped it from doing anything useful at all.

The best part - and the part that once again reveals the core incompetence of the Trump administration - is that they sued him for breaking his contract for the concert in question.
And then had to admit to the judge later that there *was* no contract for it. There had never been one to begin with.

🍿 #OradouGate, rions encore un peu ensemble : comme on pouvait le suspecter, le nouveau maire de droite de #ClermontFerrand n'avait pas prévenu non plus le Président de #Clermont #Auvergne Métropole (de sa majorité et dont il est 1er VP) qu'il allait casser une des principales lignes métropolitaine de #TramBus pour en rendre la voirie aux #bagnoles !
Cerise sur le gâteau pour notre Mozart local des économies publiques, nous pourrions devoir rembourser plein d'aides dédiées ... au développement des #TransportsEnCommun en site propre uniquement !

Financial Times: “Scott Bessent’s running battle with the bond market is starting to look like his boss’s war in Iran — started by his own hand with a tangled set of objectives, an underestimated opponent, and an implausible path to victory. And like the conflict in the Middle East, we are all going to suffer its effects."

Matthew Guy: "Michigan relies on trade with Canada every day. Higher #tariffs mean higher car prices, bigger winter heating bills, and higher costs for local farmers. It’s just an extra tax on working families."

Astonished that the US cannot restock its carriers in any other way… I guess they just don’t want to. Gross disrespect for the people involved. Very disappointing. And then the lies… -

"Interest rates rebounded Thursday despite efforts by Secretary Bessent to put a lid on longer-term borrowing costs, a sign Wall Street investors remain worried about burgeoning government debt, heavy borrowing by tech firms, and the Federal Reserve’s commitment to fighting inflation":
