"A federal judge just delivered a huge win for the rule of law, for the American people and - not hyperbole - for global security, and a huge loss for Donald Trump, and one of his flunkies, Kari Lake.

DC Federal District Judge Royce Lamberth just ordered 1000 federal employees to be allowed to return to work at Voice of America, ruling that Kari Lake had been unlawfully trying to dismantle the agency."

White House nominates new Head for USAGM

The White House has noninated Sarah B. Rogers, currently the U.S. Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, to be Chief Executive Officer of the United States Agency for Global Media. Her nomination was sent to the Senate on Thursday.

A slightly gleeful Yahoo article notes that

[t]wo-time failed gubernatorial candidate Lake was removed from the role after U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan administration nominee, ruled on Saturday that she had been running the agency in violation of the law, labeling her a “de facto” CEO.
